It's things like this including him in this Wimbledon champions painting. It's supposed to depict classic champion Wimbledon rivalries. Since when have Sinner and Alcaraz been classic rivals? Neither had ever made it past the fourth round when this painting was done.

Poor Andy Murray was left out, he has been such a champion too in so many other ATP1000 and grand slam finals, just not all about the grand slam tally. His Olympic finals too are epic

They’re trying to promote and push the young guys to the forefront. Tennis has to survive past the “Big 3”. And there’s obvious panic from the tennis world. However, Alcaraz is also simply popular, along with being world number 1. So, it makes sense to use his image, even if the hype can be annoying.

I'm all for promoting up and comers. But he had no place in this painting. The creator responded to the criticism of Murray being omitted that it was only Classic Rivalries. I think Alvarez is often brilliant. But he has to earn his place like everyone before him.

Agree. Where’s Sampras? Agassi? Graf? The minimum criteria should have been a Wimbledon title. Not two 20 year olds who played in the 4th round last year.

That said, this could be the final this year!
