Adriano Panatta does not put Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on the same level.
Adriano Panatta judges on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
Speaking on "La Domenica Sportiva" aired on Rai 2, former Italian tennis legend Adriano Panatta è returned to Jannik Sinner's extraordinary victory at the Six Kings Slam over Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 6-7 6-3 6-3, after a battle lasting more than two hours. In his analysis, the former world number four issued a clear verdict on the rivalry between the South Tyrolean and the Spaniard.
"Jannik played very well, despite it being an exhibition tournament. I must say that the match against Alcaraz amazed me because, although he lost the first set, he è remained there and played as if it were the final of Wimbledon or Roland Garros" debuted the'former blue coach.
"Carlos had some trouble keeping the same level until the end. This shows that the Spaniard probably has more shots and more chances to find solutions on the court, but Sinner è stronger right now because é è more stable and continuous in his game" added the 1976 Rome and Paris champion.
"Of Jannik I like the fact that he is a decent guy, polite and balanced, on and off the court. He never misses a statement, never has a standoffish gesture, and respects all opponents. He does everything well and shows that he is an outlier because heé manages to hide his flaws well. He still struggles on clay, where a different sport is played. Forò, I have no doubt that sooner or later he will win in Rome and Roland Garros" too, concluded Adriano Panatta.
