"Jannik Sinner ahead of Carlos Alcaraz" the tennis guru's analysis
Serena Williams'former coach Patrick Mouratoglou on his Youtube channel explained in detail whyé Jannik Sinner will be the world tennis number 2 in 2024. "I think 2024 will still be Novak Djokovic’s year, but who will be the No. 2 between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner? I think Jannik is ready for this role. Next year may be the one where Sinner has a chance to rival Djokovic more than Alcaraz, because of what he showed in the last months of 2023. I believe he will beà ready to compete at 100 percent at the highest level, far more than he did this season".
"Alcaraz has had better results so far: he has won two Slams, multiple 1000s, è ahead in the rankings, è been number one and probably on clay he è superior to him. I think forò that on other surfaces, with the style of play he has displayed, Jannik can be superior to Carlos because of his ability to take his opponent’s time and play the ball with great speed.
According to Mouratoglou è mostly a mental issue: "The last part of 2023 gave Jannik that feeling of being ready to win major tournaments. Yes, he lost the Final in Turin to Djokovic, but he beat Novak twice in 12 days and won the Davis Cup. This last result è an incredible boost for him. It reminds me of Nole’s 2011, when he had a tremendous season after winning cin Davis Cup".
" I think Sinner can read the game better and can adapt to many more situations. He also has more ù solutions than before. Djokovic è always ahead, but Sinner will beà the No. 2 at the end of 2024", are the words taken from Oasport.
