Bellucci lapidary on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz: "It’s much worse"

The Varese tennis player dwelt on his season in an interview with Spazio Tennis: "The best moment of the year was at Wimbledon"
"With Lehecka was my best match of the'year"
Bellucci then talked about the most impressive players on the circuit, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
Bellucci has never played against Sinner on the ATP circuit, but instead faced Alcaraz at the US Open
"Carlos and Jannik on TV make an impression, but being on the court against them is much worse"

"There wasn’t a single aspect in which I felt on par with Alcaraz"
"I didn’t know how to score points, how to stay hooked"
"With Carlos I thought ‘I don’t know what to do’, I never felt close tennis"
Even Novak Djokovic impressed Bellucci when they trained in New York
"I try to make the training useful for him, the pressure on him was so much"

"In terms of emotions and intensity it was a workout that made me better, stronger"

"Reaching that level of need against the strongest of all time… I never thought I would be in such a situation"

On the field where the Miami Marlins’ baseball games are usually played, the Spaniard managed to take home the victory, coming back, in the third period, from a really important disadvantage in the super tie-break (0-5). All in front of many distinguished guests, including former Inter and Milan striker Ronaldo.

“I had never played against Fonseca, so it was the first time. More importantly, I had never played in a baseball stadium before. It was really special to come back to Miami and play in front of these special people. You always experience a great energy” the words of the Spanish outfielder. The Brazilian thus did not disfigure against Carlos Alcaraz. For many, Joao Fonseca is destined to reach the level of Jannik Sinner and, indeed, Carlos Alcaraz.
