Four important players prepared a top 5 staff of the most friendly, circuit circuit colleagues, and the name of the Grand Slam Carlos Alcaraz champion is most often chosen. Jannik Sinner, on the other hand, does not appear at all.
Present at the Masters 1000 from Toronto, four notable players of the moment participated in an interesting survey, and they will make a list of the most friendly, friendest five players in the circuit.
Daniil Medvedev, Francisco Cerundolo, Holger Rune and Lorenzo Musetti They responded to the challenge launched by Overtime Tennis, and the final result brings out a few often mentioned names, but also an absence of brand.
Carlos Alcaraz, then Casper Ruud – the most popular choices
Even if he did not play in Toronto – like a few other important names in male tennis, including Novak Djokovic or Jannik Sinner Carlos Alcarazworld number 2, resulted as the most popular choice among those asked.
The next one is Casper Ruudknown and recognized for its polite and correct behavior. What does the lists of the four look like?
Cerundolo listed on Ruud, Alcaraz, his brother, Juan Manuel, Jakub Mensk and the compatriot Mariano Navone. Medvedev also mentioned the duet Alcaraz -ruud, adding Joao Fonseca, Andrey Rublev and Miomir Kecmanovic.
In turn, Rune chose Carlos Alcaraz, along with Francisco Cerundolo, Gael Monfils and Ben Shelton, saying about the last one is “a job”. His fifth option seems a little controversial because the Danish put in his hierarchy Nick Kyrgios. It is precisely on the Australian player known for his explosive personality and the numerous reactions not exactly polite. Rune motivated, however, that “he is kind to me personally.”
Even Lorenzo Musetti did not choose Sinner!
Lorenzo Musetti has put together a list of only four players, all Italians: Flavio Cobulli, Lorenzo Sonego, Matteo Berrettini and Simone Bolelli.

The absence of the world leader in these personal tops draws attention. Not even Musetti nominated Jannik Sinner, whose behavior on the field and during tournaments, compared to fans, is also an irreproachable one. The most recent example is the way he took care of Grigor Dimitrov during the quarter of Wimbledon, when the Bulgarian suffered a rupture of the right pectoral muscle and could not continue the match, overwhelmed with pain.
In another survey, with the question who would put in contact in case of emergency, Musetti admitted that they would not rely on Italian friends because “they do not have a good relationship with their phones.” Eventually he chose Berrettini, but he had to call him first only if it were day, if it's not night.
