The Kazakh tennis player has been as sincere as possible acknowledging his own limitations and the superiority of the Spanish and Italian tennis players in the major tournaments.

The legendary coach Brad Gilbert says that at the moment the Spanish and Italian tennis players need to win more titles to include them in that list.
Renzo Furlan, Luca Nardi's coach, sees in the Italian tennis player a great number of similarities with the GOAT of the circuit.
The world number one, alongside Alcaraz, is the main attraction in today's tennis world. While the Spanish player has already participated twice, the Italian has not yet debuted in Federer's competition.
A tennis legend like Jimmy Connors prefers to focus on the game of the Italian: "The way he moves on the court, the strength and power with which he hits his shots is impressive."
Italian and Spanish continue to accumulate historic records and already threaten some of the Grand Slam records that for decades seemed reserved for the Big Three.
The Brazilian remembers his matches this year with the Spanish, Italian, and German players and recalls his victory against Djokovic in Paris: "It was very surreal."
The words of the world number 1 after winning Wimbledon 2026 are nothing more than another clear example that the absence of the Spanish player is becoming eternal.
