Former tennis player Andy Roddick shared his opinion on Jannik Sinner’s and Carlos Alcaraz’s growing dominance amid no competition against them. Roddick is usually seen sharing his opinions on the ongoing shenanigans of the tennis world in his podcast.
Sinner recently capped off his Miami Open campaign, where he bested top-notch players, including Alex Michelsen, Frances Tiafoe, Alexander Zverev, and more, to advance to the finals. Here, he met Jiri Lehecka and delivered a dominant performance, securing a two-straight-set (6-4, 6-4) victory.
Alcaraz also competed at the Miami Open, where his journey ended early in the round of 32 against Sebastian Korda. Ahead of this, he won the Qatar Open trophy after getting the best of Arthur Fils on Feb. 21.
Most of the men’s tennis tournament wins are nabbed by either the Italian or the Spaniard, and this was discussed by Roddick in his latest podcast.
Stating that the winners in men’s tennis aren’t changing, and calling it ‘depressing,’ he said:
“The winners haven’t changed. Carlos wins majors, and Jannik is winning everything else. If anything, it’s like more depressing because, like, you just want them to dip at the same time, and it feels like they never do.
“Jannik takes a loss in the Middle East, and Carlos runs shop. Carlos takes a month off on this swing, and Jannik isn’t really challenged. It’s tough. Because we do this, and I come on, I’m like, ‘We have to realize greatness while we’re here.'”
He added:
“But it’s like, oh yeah, Jannik won, and we’re like ready to talk about like 18 other things. I think he’s improved since last year. Whatever they did to adjust and, you know, they talked about it a little bit, I’m full buy on that one. He didn’t drop a set in the Sunshine Double. You know how hard it is not to lose a set in a month?”
