Disappointing from Teichmann, she got bagel'd in the first set. I thought she would do good
things this year but it hasnt started that way.
like yourself, didnt expect such a poor result from her, only winning 2 games, very poor.
Different times - when Đoković started you had titans such as Federer and Nadal in their prime, players like Murray in the mix as well.
Top 10 were del Potro and Wawrinka, players that could beat you any day of the week.
Currently when I look at the top 10, other than Alcaraz there isn't a player who I can see constantly challenging for titles.
That's actually what I meant to say. Now only looking at the time Alcaraz seems to have left to also collect some easy number 1 weeks, it probably comes down to his health only. Unless there is another rising star on the horizon that we can't see yet. His level is insane at the age of 19 and even though when Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev etc. are all great players, they are not his level.
I agree, Alcaraz seems to have all the tools at his disposal to be No.1 for a long time,
the only caveat is staying injury free.
and ATM based on his performance at Indian Wells there is nobody at his level currently.
I definitely think Medvedev is better than the result in that final portrays.
