Corrado Barazzutti surprises everyone over Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz

During an interview given to the microphones of "Libero Quotidiano", the former captain of the Italian Davis Cup team expressed himself bluntly about the rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who have been the great protagonists of this 2024 with two Slams won each.

"Carlos possesses an objectively more complete arsenal of strokes. His tennis is very close to Federer’s, è varied and able to generate more versatility; even in difficult moments. I think the Spaniard, if on a good day, still has a little something more than Sinner. In addition, he is two years younger than Jannik and therefore has the possibility of raising his level of play even further as the Italian has done and is doing now" began the former Italian captain.

"Sinner has everything to become the new Djokovic. They are two champions who have many characteristics in common: they like to hit from the back of the court, move the game and command it, and they do not particularly like to go down to the net" added the Friulian coach.

"Of Jannik I am surprised by the great results he is getting and the improvements he has made this season. I was impressed by his solidity in the decisive moments, someone who wins 20 tie-breaks out of 22 played means that he knows what to do when the situation is hot. He canò still improve in playing at the net. His serve has refined it a lot, as has his bunt. The main thing he has added compared to the past, però è the ability to concentrate and the winning mentality. He no longer hasù those pauses he showed in 2022" concluded Corrado Barazzutti.
