Sinner Is The Best Player In The World: Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz said he has no doubt that top-ranked Jannik Sinner is the best player in the world on current form as the two young players continue to lay the foundations for an epic rivalry.

Alcaraz, the 21-year-old world number three, won the French Open and Wimbledon titles last year, splitting the four Grand Slam tournaments with 23-year-old Sinner.

The Spaniard also improved his head-to-head record with the Italian to 6-4, beating Sinner three times in as many meetings.

Sinner, meanwhile, won 73 of his 79 matches last year including the US Open and the Australian Open, which he successfully defended at Melbourne Park last month.

Jannik is the best right now, Alcaraz told reporters in Rotterdam on Sunday.
