How does Alcaraz trap Sinner in the backhand corner? Like Nadal used to do against Federer
This weekend, after 20 years, Rafael Nadal wouldn't be competing for the French Open title. Novak Djokovic will be there, but in a way, he too isn't in the competition to take the Cup home. At 38, he looks too jaded, too uninspired to win five-setters on clay against Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the 20-something stars ready to conquer the world.Generational shifts can take a toll on fans. It's tempting to get wistful about the end of tennis's golden age, entertain thoughts of staying aloof to the happenings at Roland Garros. It’s also a guilt-ridden ordeal to switch loyalties, root for the new stars when the old ones are still around. But like market analysts love to say during every churn — it is always wise to stay invested.
