A few hours ago, Alexander Zverev made it clear that he intends to "rain on the parade" of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, but his recent results indicate that much has to change for that to happen. The Spanish and Italian players are the ones to beat for the vast majority of the circuit.

After appearing on the US Open Entry List with his protected ranking, Nick Kyrgios spoke to TNT Sports about which players could disrupt the dominance of Carlos and Jannik. Without a clear answer apart from one name, the Australian analyzed the current landscape of the circuit.

Who can compete with Alcaraz and Sinner?

"I don't see anyone in the top five who can do it. Maybe someone from outside, like Taylor Fritz. He is the only one who has applied pressure," said Kyrgios, despite Alcaraz holding a 3-0 lead in head-to-head matches and Sinner a 4-1 advantage, although it's true that Carlitos had to produce a great performance to beat him in the Wimbledon semifinals.

Ben Shelton was crushed on the court by Sinner in straight sets in the quarterfinals, someone we thought would have a chance. At 21 years old, you are not so young anymore because these guys are winning Grand Slams at that age. I understand that you may have an outside chance, but we're talking about the person who will be the Novak Djokovic who crashes the party, or Andy Murray."

Draper, Fritz, Fonseca, Rune...

"Draper, I've seen him play, and I think he is more than capable of being that person. He is an incredible athlete, a great lefty, maybe not as comfortable as he claimed on grass. I believe he could rise to be that person. Players like Joao Fonseca, he's a bit young at the moment, still a kid, has much room to grow and has a long career ahead.

Fritz was there in the semifinal. A couple of points here and there, if he plays better. I think Holger Rune was that guy, and now he has fallen behind a bit. I expected more from him," Nick asserted.
