Boris Becker has taken aim at tennis stars after Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominated the Grand Slams in 2025.
Sinner and Alcaraz have faced off at each of the last three Grand Slams, and the pair have won two slams apiece this season.
The level of dominance from such young players has made Becker believe they are widening the gap to a point where no one else can come close.
The tennis legend has taken aim at the rest of the players on tour, stating they must step up or “closing the gap is actually impossible.”
Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open on Sunday
| REUTERSPlayers like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz have been able to make it to Grand Slam finals but have not created any upsets against the top two in the world.
Novak Djokovic has repeatedly proved his worth against Sinner and Alcaraz time and time again, however, at 38-years-old the age is starting to catch up with the 24-time Grand Slam winner.
Becker believes players will need to fill the void when Djokovic retires, or the sport will see a monopoly.

He revealed: “The statistic for Djokovic against Fritz is 11-0. Not for the American. What kind of gap is there, sportingly speaking? How good or not good are the others? I'm talking about everyone else,
“It's an incredible statistic with the eighth consecutive Grand Slam victory for either Alcaraz or Sinner.
“But where the hell are the rest? We're talking about Zverev, Draper, Fritz, de Minaur, Ruud, Rune, Medvedev, Rublev.”

Boris Becker has been left furious by a variety of tennis stars
| GETTYThe six-time Grand Slam champion was impressed by the performance of US Open semi-finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime, who put up a strong fight against the former world No1, and made Sinner drop a set, but it still wasn’t enough to upset the Wimbledon champion.
Becker continued: “Finally, someone thought strategically, ‘How can I pose a threat to Sinner?’ Logically, not by long rallies at the baseline. That's not rocket science. You don't have to study philosophy,”
“Something about the rest, that they’re content with the second or third role. ‘Quarter-finals are okay, semi-finals are okay’."
