Carlos’s versatility across all surfaces is remarkable, especially at such a young age, and Sinner’s consistent excellence and work ethic are truly impressive.
Moderator: Absolutely.Sinner seems to have this calm demeanor on the court, almost unwavering in his focus. Do you think that mental fortitude will be crucial in their quest for Grand Slam titles?
Evert: Absolutely. Tennis is as much a mental game as a physical one. The pressure at the top is immense, and the ability to stay calm under pressure is essential.Sinner definately has that mental fortitude, and it will serve him well in the clutch moments. Alcaraz, while incredibly talented, is still developing that aspect of his game.

Moderator: We saw glimpses of that rivalry during the US Open last year. Do you think that dynamic will play out again at the Australian Open?
