Carlos Alcaraz admits what he envies about Jannik Sinner

Ahead of the possible, last challenge of the year, comes praise for the great rival.

Carlos Alcaraz admits that Jannik Sinner has some characteristics that he envies, psychologically even more than technically. The Spaniard is preparing to take part in the ATP Finals in Turin, where the last challenge of the season with the world tennis number 1 could take place. And in preparation for the big event, he decided to dwell just on him.

"Sinner always takes the court with an incredible calmness,” Alcaraz admitted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport' -I envy him his great tranquility, which sustains him in the most delicate moments and when tension è at the highest levels. As for his tennis, however, I would like to try his serve or his backhand. They are potentially lethal weapons".

Alcaraz also reviewed past challenges with Sinner: "The most difficult match è also one of my favorite ones, the match we played valid for the quarterfinals of the US Open 2022. On that occasion I think I reached the highest point of my career, both physically and mentally".

"Sinner and I have lived splendid moments against each other,” added Alcaraz. “They were great battles, which will remain in tennis history, which forò for the moment cover just 2-3 years. If we want to be remembered as Federer, Nadal or Djokovic we will have to be able to maintain a level like this for the next 15. And that would be something stupendous".
