Roger Federer highlights what Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner did that he didn’t expect

Men’s tennis has not seen a run like this since the “Big Three era”, with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

On Tennis Channel, Federer has weighed in on the current tennis superstars, sharing his verdict.

“I mean, I think we all knew that they were going to be good, that they were maybe going to be great, most likely.

“But we didn’t expect, I think, this kind of dominance right out of the gates. It’s really impressive, I must admit.

“And it’s amazing for the game. I think that they play back-to-back-to-back-to-back finals against each other with French, Wimby, Cincy, US.

“These are the biggest stages in our sport that we have. So, I mean, they’ve made a name for themselves. And now, obviously it begs the next question, who’s going to be the next guy?

“We know that Novak’s doing what he’s doing. He’s on a legendary career already but you know who’s going to be the next guy who wants to join that elite group.

“It’s going to be hard and it’s going to take some time and it’s the question also how long can they keep doing this because it’s not easy. I’ve been there, it’s hard, and they’re making it look very easy. So, really, really impressive.”

Roger Federer hints at where the Laver Cup could go next after London 2026

Federer has had a front-row seat to Alcaraz’s latest performances, with the Spaniard representing Team Europe at this year’s Laver Cup.

The Spaniard paired up with Jakub Mensik to win their opening doubles match against Taylor Fritz and Alex Michelsen, though Fritz later avenged that defeat by winning their singles encounter.

As the event had its final day at the Chase Center last Sunday, Federer, who helped launch the tournament, has offered some insight into future host cities following its return to London in 2026.

“Clearly the goal was to play in places that maybe don’t get to see tennis so often. So I think we did that here in San Francisco.

“Same for Berlin, same for Vancouver. Obviously we’re going back to London, where they see tons of tennis.

“But Europe is for big arenas. It’s not so easy to find like here in North America or around the world. But that was the idea, to travel with the Laver Cup.”

“But it’s hard as we built out this stadium in an incredible way, just for three days. The work that goes in from the team is tremendous.

“But I’m happy that everything that I’ve had in my vision together with Tony came true and more. So let’s see what goes after London.

“Because in the beginning, the idea was to have it more in North America because of the player schedule.

“But Asia also probably would be not a bad move because of all the players now going to Asia right after. I would go to South America if I think, imagine this in South America with Joao [Fonseca] on the team or something. Oh my god.

“Anyway, look, we unfortunately have one Laver Cup once a year, but a lot of thoughts, and I’m happy that a lot of cities are already wanting to have the Laver Cup in their place now, which was not obviously the case in the beginning.”
