Jannik Sinner outspoken about rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner returns to talk about rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz
It's a Jannik Sinner eager to get back to showing his qualities on the court, the one who spoke at a press conference on the eve of the Beijing ATP, a tournament that sees him return to competition after his elimination in the round of 16 at the US Open and his absence in the Davis Cup.
In particular, Sinner candidly responded to a question about rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz, a possible semifinal-level opponent in the Chinese tournament. "It's hard to talk now about this rivalry,‖ he said, -Carlos has won so much already and I think he has shown that he is better. He's also already been number one in the ranking, in my opinion his biggest rival now è Djokovic".
"D'on the other hand every time we play against each other the matches are beautiful,” Sinner added, “we manage to show the best of ourselves. Right now, forò more than rivalries; I prefer to focus on me, at the level of play but also at the physical level. This year I have played fewer tournaments than last season, I have to prepare my body to play and win consistently the most important tournaments".
"So the talk of rivalryà can be addressed in the future,” he later said in closing answer. “I would be very happy to be Carlos’s rival and I feel I have the potential to do so. Forò we have to keep working, we will seeà in the future".
