Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will forever be remembered for defining an era of dominance in tennis, winning a combined 66 Grand Slam titles. For many, the “Big Three” are the greatest players in history, but John McEnroe believes there’s one player who, at the same age, is even more complete than the three legends.

For the former world No. 1, that player is Carlos Alcaraz. “I mean, I’ve watched tennis for 50 years or longer… Of all the players I’ve ever watched, at this age, I’ve never seen a player this good and this complete for the last two or three years,” McEnroe told Tennis Channel.
