    A new era of tennis is upon us !

    Roland Garros was just an appetizer of what is to come in the coming years. While the king of the tour was absent, the next generations stepped up, and they have almost arrived. Led by Carlos and Sinner, this new generation will usher us into a new era of tennis. We've been in a transitional...

    Nadal vs Alcaraz - The Trilogy ● Madrid 2021, Indian Wells 2022, Madrid 2022

    Rafael Nadal didn't play much tennis after 2022, so in hindsight we're fortunate that we got to see three matches between him and Carlos Alcaraz. Unlike the Djokovic–Alcaraz rivalry, which has produced ten matches and gives us a much larger sample to compare, the brief "Alcadal" rivalry never...

    A look back at the 2025 Roland Garros final - One of the greatest matches of all-time

    This match is undoubtedly one of the greatest matches I've ever witnessed ! Despite the fact that it was the longest RG final ever at 5 hours and 29 minutes many points were decided in the range of 4-8 shots ...they produced 123 winners ! For comparison the classic '12 AO final between nadal...

    It All Starts With The Right Racquet (Alcaraz)

    Babolat has a new ad campaign, “Inspired by Carlitos, made for kids.” In which they state “It all starts with the right racquet.” Is this a good idea? Does Carlos have the right racquet, or could it be the wrong racquet? (Pure Aero 98) I can already see kids from all around the world rubbing...

    Will Alcaraz end the year (2026) in the top 2?

    After pulling out of much of the clay season and all of the grass season, will Carlos Alcaraz still finish 2026 in the top 2 of the ATP rankings?

    We've seen this movie before. Exactly 20 years ago !

    This is sorta like a reboot or second iteration of a classic movie , Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dominated the tour exactly like Alcaraz and Sinner are doing it right now. Alcaraz and Sinner are different to Roger and Rafa even in their dominance and rivalry dynamic, but as a duo they're...

    Is the Spanish tennis pipeline finally open again?

    With the rise of Rafael Jodar, only the second Spaniard born in the 2000s to reach the top 100, it got me wondering what happened to Spanish tennis and how its pipeline is doing compared to other countries. Incidentally, this week Martin Landaluce will join Jodar and Alcaraz in the top 100, so...

    Both Alcaraz and Sinner are above 13,000 points now

    As a side note, the gap between #2 and #3 is almost 7500 points. I'm pretty sure these (#2 points and #2/#3 point gap) are both records.

    Sincaraz and five-setters

    As we already know, Alcaraz and Sinner have very different records in five setters but I’m seeing many posters and analysts dismiss by claiming that Sinner doesn’t let himself dragged that often into five-setters and when he is, he is usually in trouble so that’s why he has a worse record than...

    Will Alcaraz and Djokovic end their h2h tied?

    There is a lot of talk about the Alcaraz-Sinner h2h, but not as much conversation around Novak leading Carlos in h2h. At the moment, Carlos is one win away from tying the their h2h at 5-5. But Novak's schedule is more relaxed than in the past, and depending on which side of the draw he is on...

    Does Carlos Alcaraz complete the career Grand Slam in 2026?

    It's been his stated goal for the last two years. He has fallen in the quarters two years in a row, first to Zverev in 2024, and then to Djokovic last year. He has parted with his coach of 7 years, ending a very successful parternship. His greatest rival is gunning for three in a row, and won...

    Carlos Alcaraz all-time ranking

    Hey guys, I’ve been thinking a lot about where Carlos Alcaraz currently ranks among the greatest players of the Open Era. At just 22, he’s already built a résumé that stacks up surprisingly well against legends like Becker, Edberg, and Wilander, three players who are often compared in all-time...

    Raz vs Rafa comparison at age 19-20

    Raz-Nole H2H 2-3 (slam 1-1), 3 losses RG SF, Yec SF, Cincy F Rafa-Fed H2H 5-3 (slam 2-1), 3 losses Wb F, Yec SF, Miami F Isn’t it crazy how rarely Rafa faced top-5 or top-10 opponents during his rise? Even Raz, who didn’t face them that often either, still did so over 60% more than Rafa.

    Carlostrophobia

    Jannik Sinner – the guy who can beat anyone… except Carlos Alcaraz. Every Slam final tells the same story: the moment he sees Carlitos across the net, Sinner’s forehand becomes a frisbee and his nerves turn into spaghetti. At this point it’s not a rivalry, it’s a medical condition...

Among his most vocal critics is joined Jimmy Connors, former World No.1 and two-time Wimbledon champion, who didn't spare the Spaniard on...
