Boris Becker is known for making statements that cause a stir on the circuit. The former tennis champion of 6 Grand Slams did not miss the opportunity to comment on the 2025 Roland Garros final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, one of the best finals seen in recent years, where the Spaniard claimed his second title in Paris, his fifth major.

The way the young Murcian turned around a nearly lost match against a well-oiled machine like Sinner has drawn all kinds of praises, some of which may seem exaggerated to some and completely justified to others.

Impressed by Alcaraz's tennis

Becker had previously praised the Spaniard immensely, and this time was no exception: "The variety, the power, the feel for the ball... I don't know any player in the history of tennis with this combination," ventures the German, aligning with Mats Wilander and many other analysts who place Alcaraz's level even above the Big 3 at just 22 years old.

Continuing his praise, Becker stated: "He's still in top gear. To me, he's a genius. When challenged and motivated, he reaches a level no other player has reached," he said in comments reported by Eurosport Germany.

Apart from being captivated by Alcaraz, Becker also had words for Sinner: "Everyone talks about Alcaraz and Sinner, which is a great compliment for our sport," but he dared to predict when, in his view, the Italian will overcome the painful and traumatic Roland Garros defeat: "He needs a year to recover. Until he returns to that court, to that tournament. Even if he plays well until then, this defeat will continue to affect him for another year," Becker stated, reaffirming that Alcaraz is the best tennis player he has ever seen.
