The words dij Ferrero

Juan Carlos Ferrero, former world number one now coach of Carlos Alcaraz, spoke to Radio Marca about his client: "He has great talent, but he still has many things to improve. The challenge with Sinner will ask him so much, it will be an incentive not to relax. He has to improve his mentalityà and consistency in matches".

"This è is the good thing: we have very clear motivation and goals that we è are aware of. Sinner è a very complete player, he understood what he had to improve in the last few years and è managed to do it, è matured a lot. Heè will be a very tough opponent, pushè Carlos not to rest".

In Buenos Aires, former world No. 8 Diego Schwartzman meanwhile played his last match at age 32, losing in two in the second round of the tournament where he was host to Martinez. Among the many who paid tribute to him was Jannik Sinner, who posted on social media a photo on the court with Schwartzman himself accompanied by the caption: "What a career, what a person. I wish you the best in your new chapter", then sharing the video of the last ovation of the Buenos Aires audience.

Jannik Sinner and Diego Schwartzman also faced each other in a tournament final: it was 2021 and on the concrete in Antwerp Jannik won for a change with a comfortable 6-2 6-2.
