Boris Becker believes in Jannik Sinner and warns Carlos Alcaraz

During an interview with the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", Holger Rune&#39s former coach Boris Becker analyzed the momentum of Jannik Sinner, who will take the court in the evening against Jack Draper in the US Open semifinals. In addition, the former German tennis player commented on the rivalry between the world number one and Carlos Alcaraz.

" It won’t be that easy a challenge for him but in the end I think Sinner will come out on top. Draper will definitely be nervous, even though he hasn&#39t lost a set since the start of the tournament, this è his first Slam semifinal and in these competitions experience counts a lot. Plus, being doubles partners, Jannik knows his game well" debuted Holger Rune's former coach.

"Carlos has won Roland Garros and Wimbledon and many consider the Spaniard the player of the year even though he is ranked No. 3. Sinner è a proud man and I am sure he will do everything to match Alcaraz in the number of Slams in the season and close the debate on who is the best player of the year" continued the former German tennis player.

" Jannik has already beaten Tiafoe in the final in Cincinnati, maybe Fritz è a little more dangerous because heé serves very well, but I think once in the final the world number one will have extra motivation in wanting to bring home the trophy" added the 1967 class.

"He suffered months of positivity, but he won his battle and proved his innocence. I know Jannik and I am absolutely certain of his honesty, and I am very happy for him, for the team and his family, that everything has been resolved with acquittal’
