Wilander drastic on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz:"He missed the train"

Jannik Sinner’s astonishing 2024 prompted Mats Wilander to make resounding comparisons in an interview with Europort: "Sinner’s season è comparable to that of the best players in history, in their best moments. And these are Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal. Jimmy Connors had a year where he won three Slam tournaments. I had a year where I won three Slam tournaments and finished number one. Sinner did moreù".

"For me, the most important two weeks were winning the ATP Finals in Turin, in front of the home crowd, as number one in the world and without losing a set", explained the'former Swedish champion. "Then he goes to Malaga, defends the Davis Cup and now è the best player in the world, so he è not allowed to lose a match. He è isn’t allowed to lose a doubles match and he doesn’t. And he continues to win his singles matches without losing a set" again.

According to Wilander rivals are losing contact, starting with Carlos Alcaraz: "Carlos and whoever is chasing Sinner had better get on the same train becauseé the train Sinner is on is about to leave the station and if you are not on it now, it&eagrave; will go so fast and the bar will be so high that you won&e catch him anymore&hellip".

For Wilander Sinner has ample room for improvement: "The package è complete and he has just started to win. He will improve in everything. He will become; stronger and more than anything else his confidence will become; higher and higher".
