Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz: Mendoza Paladines can’t hold back

The duel between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz is destined to go on for years and all over the world they follow with great attention and affection the challenge between the two golden-boys of world tennis.

The comparisons are wasted but from Ecuador came a truly surprising one by Andres Mendoza Paladines, one of the columnists of ‘El Universo,’ who thoughtfully discomfited a couple of characters who sink into history and certainly not the most recent one.

“Their intense sports rivalry and gigantic mutual respect bring back memories of those mythical heroes of the Iliad and Odyssey” began the journalist in his most recent editorial, which was read by thousands of people in one day.

“They are two giants – added the unhinged Mendoza Paladines -Jannik Sinner embodies the strength and steadfastness that Homer attributed to the great warrior Achilles, while Carlos Alcaraz represents the cunning and dexterity that the same Greek poet reserved for Ulysses”.

“In less than 40 days, the two best players on the planet competed in two sensational Grand Slam finals, capturing the attention of the entire sporting world – he concluded -. Now only the US Open remains, the last stage of the Grand Slams of 2025: we will see if the challenge between gladiators will be repeated also on the concrete of Flushing Meadows, in New York“.
