Ivan Ljubicic does not equate Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
During an interview given to the microphones of "Sky Sport" on the occasion of the Fesival dello Sport in Trento, Ivan Ljubicic è returned to Jannik Sinner's triumphant 2024 and the blue man's rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz.
"The numbers speak for themselves, Sinner right now dominates and doesn't care who's on the other side of the net. He presents his game and è is also good at finding the right adjustments to hurt all opponents who face him" debuted the former Croatian tennis player.
"Perhaps Djokovic played slightly underwhelming in the Shanghai final, but now facing Sinner and beating him è very difficult. Let us also take Alcaraz, in this year's Race he has half as many points as Jannik, even though he won two slams. This makes you realize how much perseverance the Azure has" continued Roger Federer's former coach.
"Sinner and Alcaraz are very different as players, as character and as type of game. The South Tyrolean è more constant and if we talk about the ranking he will be more; ahead of the Spaniard on so many aspects. Maybe the Italian doesn't have the spectacular strokes of the Murcian, but he è really a hammer in always being on the ball and playing almost perfect tennis" added the Banja Luka native.
"At the level of numbers, in this 2024, we are on the standards of the Federers and Djokovics. Jannik è an unquestionable number one at the moment. He is going through a lot of difficulties; yet he continues to do his own thing. Between now and the end of the year, in addition, there are still a lot of potential dates and Sinner canò still give a lot between the Nitto ATP Finals and the Davis Cup Finals" concluded Ivan Ljubicic.
