“Let’s try not to let them win every slam from now on,” – Felix Auger-Aliassime on ATP players trying to stop Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
Felix Auger-Aliassime has called on ATP players to rise to the challenge and prevent Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz from dominating the Grand Slam scene. In a candid statement, Auger-Aliassime expressed his belief that the next generation of tennis stars should push harder to break the current duopoly of the young Spaniard and the Italian, who have both shown immense promise and already secured major victories.
Auger-Aliassime, who himself has been a rising star on the ATP circuit, made the comment with a sense of urgency, noting that Alcaraz and Sinner’s dominance in recent tournaments is a signal of their growing strength. “Let’s try not to let them win every slam from now on,” Auger-Aliassime said in an interview, acknowledging the incredible talent of the two youngsters but also emphasizing the need for other players to step up their game and challenge for the biggest titles.
Alcaraz, who became the youngest player to reach World No. 1, and Sinner, whose explosive play has earned him a rapidly growing fan base, are seen as the future faces of men’s tennis. They have both been favorites in the media and among fans, but Auger-Aliassime believes that it’s not just about them continuing to succeed—it’s about the next tier of players, including himself, pushing back and claiming their share of glory.
The Canadian, who has reached the semifinals of the US Open and other high-profile tournaments, is known for his strong serve and all-around game. With his desire to make an impact on the sport, Auger-Aliassime’s words reflect a larger sense of competition within the ATP, where other players are determined to break through and ensure that the young stars don’t dominate to the exclusion of everyone else.
The comments also highlight the healthy rivalry developing between the top players on the circuit. While Alcaraz and Sinner continue to show why they are the future of the sport, Auger-Aliassime’s call to action is a reminder that the next era of tennis will not be without challenges, and other ATP stars are ready to keep the pressure on.
