Wimbledon 2022 finalist Nick Kyrgios drew parallels between the Roland Garros semifinalists and NBA stars in a recent video.
`Let`s start with Djokovic. In my opinion, it`s quite obvious here,` Kyrgios began. `Without a doubt, he is the tennis equivalent of LeBron James. The very fact that Novak is successfully competing and achieving such results at almost 40 years old… His level is evident to everyone, especially when he successfully competes with younger players.`
Kyrgios continued, `As for Alcaraz, it`s pretty clear here too. Carlos is Luka Doncic. When you think of these athletes, you immediately envision something magical. It feels like they were simply made for their respective sports. At times, it seems like everything comes effortlessly to them. Both are always smiling, full of confidence, and truly enjoy what they do.`
`I had to think a bit about Jannik Sinner. I would compare him to Jayson Tatum. Both achieved significant success at a young age. Tatum became a champion in 2024, and Sinner already has three Grand Slam titles to his name.`
`Now let`s move on to Musetti,` he added. `He can be compared to Tyler Herro. Both have significantly improved their game this season. Tyler participated in the All-Star Game, he`s strong offensively, and in my opinion, he`s earned the respect of his peers. Lorenzo has also made a breakthrough, showing excellent results. Thus, in the future, he will be a serious challenge for his opponents,` Kyrgios stated in a video for Bleacher Report.
