All three men have faced off against Coria, the current captain of Argentina in the Davis Cup and a former world No. 3 and French Open runner-up.
The Argentine told Marca that their ability to “adapt to the times” and continuously transform their style of play was the secret to their success.
“They had a lot of titles in common until Alcaraz, Sinner, and Medvedev showed up,” Coria remarked.
Then, because of the youths’ age, strength, and speed, it got harder. The tennis players of today are taller and move like me at 1.75 meters.

“I definitely didn’t see it that clearly at that moment because obviously you want to win,” he continued.
“I couldn’t raise my arm that day since I had just had shoulder surgery the year before. Rafa ran and showed me every inch of Rome’s center court.
“I didn’t win that Rome final, but the best player did, and they proved it in the years that followed.” Because he marked his course and was superior at the time, he deserved to win that conflict.
A f“ew weeks prior, he started writing his story in Monte Carlo, continued in Rome, and kept winning.”
“I’m appreciative because he made me realize things I never would have thought possible, like
