John McEnroe says Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner could beat Rafael Nadal at his peak on clay. Fans erupt over the Roland Garros comment.

John McEnroe has claimed that both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner would beat Rafael Nadal “at his best” after the pair contested an extraordinary French Open final. Alcaraz roared back to win a remarkable match in five sets having saved three championship points late in the fourth to force a decider.

Rafael Nadal was among the big names to congratulate Carlos Alcaraz on his incredible French Open victory. Nadal, who won a staggering 14 titles at Roland-Garros and is still known as the King of Clay, was joined by a host of other tennis stars who waxed lyrical about Sunday's mind-blowing match.
