The circuit challenges Sinner and Alcaraz on the grass court: "I hope to face them soon."

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner shocked the world in the last Roland Garros final, a match that scared many of their rivals, but that has also given hunger to others who want to try to challenge them on the grass swing, among them Taylor Fritz and Joao Fonseca .

Both the American and the Brazilian have made interesting gestures and statements in recent days before the arrival of the two giants of the circuit to the grass courts .

The first was Taylor Fritz, who lifted the Stuttgart title after defeating local Alexander Zverev. The American didn't hesitate when signing the camera: "I'm back," he wrote in a clear warning to Sinner and Alcaraz ahead of Wimbledon.

Fonseca, the great Brazilian talent who is set to compete at the top of world tennis in the coming years, spoke in similar, though perhaps less threatening, terms.

"During the match [referring to the Roland Garros final], I was talking with my coach, detecting details that could be useful to us, so it was a positive experience. I hope to face Sinner and Alcaraz soon because they are doing very important things for our sport," he commented ambitiously.

What's certain is that Alcaraz, at Queen's, and Sinner, at Halle, aren't as adapted to grass as the rest of the players. That could be a differentiating factor at Wimbledon, where several second-tier players on the circuit dream of making a splash .
