has Sinner now surpassed Carlos?

No, he hasn't

Less majors and also he hasn't won a slam on any other surface but hard courts

has Sinner now surpassed Carlos?

Yes

 

[Mazino]

Yes

Shout out to Taylor Townsend for her second Doubles GS

 

[Piff Huxtable]

the last couple months:
2 Grand Slams
2024 YEC
2024 Davis Cup
won 22 sets in a row against Top 10 players

Alcaraz hasn't reached this level of dominance in his career yet

Still doesn't have as many slams as Alcaraz, hadn't won a slam on any other surface but hard courts

He hasn't surpassed someone who has won on all surfaces on the biggest stage

We can all cherry pick shyt but that doesn't change the fact he has not conquered all surfaces

bruh with that logic
Agassi >>> Sampras

But Carlos has MORE GS than Jannick at this point. SURPASS is/was the question and no he hasn’t. He’s the best player on tour currently, that’s not a question. At least he’s the best HC player on tour

Exactly man, I also did mention that Alcaraz has more slams...

We could also bring up Carlos beating Sinner 3-0 last year including twice on hardcourt too (Their Beijing final was the best BO3 match last year imo)

Nah.... He won 55% of his GS in a 4 year window against the weakest crop of male tennis talent chokers of all time.

Sinner, Alcaraz, Rune, Shelton, Fonseca, Tien, Michelsen, Draper, Mensik, Lehecka >>>>> Med, Zverev, shytsipas, Bumettini, Poorie, Booblev, Duud, shytz, Hurkazz, Tommy

Not only are the 00s tennis talent on a much higher level than the choking goofies of 90s but Djokovic is only older and more injured now

WOAT era 1-16

Not even just the weak mentality chokin from em but the relatively low skill and talent considering they were ranked top 5 and all the holes in they games. They'd be elite and deadly at one phase and barely top 100 in another. We should be happy that WOAT era is finished and we got much better tennis prospects and talents now risin up from the 00s era
