Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are rewriting the script for this era of tennis, yet Chris Eubanks is concerned that their impact might not be getting the attention it deserves.

The American spoke earlier this week about how both players have rapidly risen to the top of the game since breaking through just a few years ago.

Since then, they’ve taken firm control of the ATP Tour, and it’s hard to see that grip loosening any time soon, no matter how much fans hope for someone new to break through.

Speaking on the Best of Three podcast, Eubanks pointed out just how fast Alcaraz is setting new standards in tennis.

Carlos Alcaraz’s achievements have left Chris Eubanks amazed

“I think, at least I hope fans are appreciative of what we’re watching,” Eubanks began, speaking about both Alcaraz and Sinner.

He explained why: “Because, I think, whilst it’s easy to say, oh, it’s boring, these two guys every tournament, every big title. It’s like, you remember the Roger dominance and then the Roger-Rafa, and then the Novak, and the Novak-Murray. Like, you remember when, like someone kind of got in and disrupted.

“I remember it kind of, but not that much. I was still very young at that time, and I’m watching what we’re seeing now, and I go: this is really special. Like this is really, really special.”

Eubanks drew a parallel between Federer chasing down his Roland Garros title to complete his career slam later in his career, while Carlos has done so already by 22 years old.

He added: “The level that these guys are playing at, and the age at which they’re doing it, like, I remember Roger chasing down that Roland Garros title to be able to get the career slam, and he was already the goat. He just didn’t have a career slam. Like, Carlos got the career slam at 22. Like, this is crazy stuff.
