Edberg/Becker level "good" talent except with obvious record inflation due to a rotten field that shouldn't eve be allowed to play on the pro tour or call themselves professional tennis players (LOL @ Fritz/FAA/Ruud/Norrie/Rune etc). Doesn't get much more clownier than that for a top field. I would say they are about in that Becker/Edberg range and thats maybe being generous. They are 4-6 time slam winner talents at best in a quality era. Definitely not where they are going to end up to be in this era (If the field doesn't improve).

Sandwiched in between the Courier/Murray tier and the Lendl/Agassi/Connors tier. Talent/Ability wise, nowhere near the big boys (Big 3/Sampras/Laver/Pancho/Borg etc). I mean they aren't doing anything that no other ATG would do this rotten shallow field of a "tour" (If you want to call it that)

to put it into perspective, I mean no doubt if you put any 22-24 year of Fedal in this era in place of Carlos/Sinner they wouldn't lose a match all season most likely. 1-2 at most (That they would probably just phone in). Both guys would mop up Golden Calendar Slams/Entire Seasons masters/slams going at 60 percent speed against the field Carlos/Sinner have been gifted LOL. 24 year old djokovic goes EASY undefeated in this tour. Even if you included Carlos/Sinner into the mix, he would still go undefeated for the season, as they would have no answer for 24 year old Djokovic obviously

Stop insulting Alcaraz placing him at same level than Clostebot, Carlos is around Big 3 level at 22 and probably will go higher level than them in the next 3-4 years with the best natural talent and magic in tennis history and carrot boy is way below Big 3 level, one dimensional, no variety and most boring top 1 player ever... just a powerful player hitting hard balls, solid backhand with not many UE but nothing more, so Murray/Agassi tier level for Sinner.

You're Still salty that Alcaraz destroyed your fraud boy sinner in the US open LMAO.. I remember when you Said Alcaraz Had no Shot against Sinner in the US Open lol... Alcaraz is now 7-1 Against His Son Sinner since 2024 and 7-2 on Hard courts, 2-0 in the US Open...... what Pete Sampras did to Agassi is the same thing Alcaraz is doing to Sinner...

Very difficult to quantify this. But I'll share some insight:
-I feel Sinner is unique in that he's the greatest tall player of all time (6'4").
(Imagine if Soderling had stamina, footwork, defense etc. Imagine if Del Potro had longevity and consistency. This is what you're getting w/ Sinner).
-Sinner gives you an instant idea of what a tall skilled player in the (6'4"-6'6" range) can do when almost EVERYTHING clicks in their game.
-Carlos has the DNA of the Big 3 for obvious reasons, except he's probably not as accurate as the Big 3 (particularly Nadal), but maybe he'll get there very soon
after that monster US Open run that showed discipline and hunger to improve his weaknesses (e.g. serve %, ROS depth).
-Carlos having a two-hander is the closest we get to a two-hander Roger Federer,
Granted, some will argue that Joao Fonesca will be that guy in the future because his forehand resembles Federer more among other possible factors
(I don't know, but I feel Carlos in terms of sheer variety is closer to Federer)*
