Iga Swiatek is going to be «the Rafael Nadal of the women's 'big three'», thinks Mats Wilander. Wilander's fellow tennis legend Chris Evert recently shared her opinion to Eurosport that a triumvirate — akin to that of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic — could be in the process of forming in the women's game, namely Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka.
The clay-court season is nearly upon us, with the elite of men's and women's tennis preparing to head to Europe for just over two months on the dirt. It could become one of the most significant periods in tennis history, with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic — tied on 22 Grand Slams — both set to make a return to action, having both missed the 'Sunshine Swing' in America.
Eurosport expert Chris Evert has expressed her excitement about the «very interesting» rivalry that is emerging between Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, who she believes could end up being the «Federer, Nadal and Djokovic of women's tennis». Evert spoke about the concern that many felt with the retirement of Serena Williams, but has made it clear that the rising trio of women's tennis could develop a rivalry that is comparable to that of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the men's game.
Carlos Alcaraz is only 19, but has already set his sights on being one of tennis’ best-ever players. Alcaraz suffered with an injury at the start of the year following his Flushing Meadows win, but he says that he has drawn inspiration from the successes enjoyed by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic after their own absences from the tour. Ad The 19-year-old is targeting further Masters 1000 and Grand Slam successes in 2023 to follow his Indian Wells crown, and he regards it as an honour to be a role model for the next generation.
Novak Djokovic will not play at the Miami Open after failing to receive a waiver to enter the United States despite not being vaccinated for Covid-19. Tournament director James Blake told The Tennis Channel on Saturday that the world number one, a six-time Miami champion, was denied entry despite the best effort of tournament officials. "We did all we could. We tried to talk to the government but it's out of our hands," Blake said ahead of the start of the tournament next week.
Eurosport expert Chris Evert has been left «in awe» and «flabbergasted» by the excellence shown by Carlos Alcaraz in his return from injury ahead of the French Open. The Spaniard stormed past the previously in-form Daniil Medvedev in electrifying fashion to clinch a straight-sets win, 6-3 6-2, and seal the Indian Wells title in California, while he usurped Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic at the summit of the men's game in the process. Ad Alcaraz, who did not lose a set in six Indian Wells matches, has made a dominant return to the ATP Tour after he was forced to miss the opening Grand Slam of the season at Melbourne Park due to injury.
Former NBA player Dominique Wilkins was the original ‘human highlight reel’, nicknamed as such because of his athletic ability and highlight reel dunking skills. He was one of the one of the greatest dunkers in NBA history, a Hall of Famer, and one of the league’s best-ever players. It might be a little too early to say Carlos Alcaraz will definitely go down as one of the greatest players in tennis history, but he undoubtedly has the same highlight-reel, wow-factor as Wilkins.
One of the longest streaks in tennis history is over. Rafael Nadal has dropped out of the top 10 of the ATP rankings for the first time since 2005. Ad The 22-time Grand Slam champion has fallen to world No.
