Alcaraz comes out of the closet. Fans of Jannik Sinner incredulous as they read the words of the Spanish tennis player who just won Wimbledon
He has won the last two Slams, but despite that he is not number one in the world. And while there is debate in Italy and beyond as to whether the Atp rankings truly reflect current value, it was the man who can be considered one of the strongest tennis players at the moment who took the floor: Carlos Alcaraz.
After his triumph at Wimbledon, we explained to you that the world ranking will not change. Sinner at least until after the now upcoming Olympics will remain number one, on paper. After his triumph in London the debate was heated, even in Italy, and many had their say on the matter, trying to reevaluate Alcaraz’s ranking position. But it was he himself, giving an interview to the Murcian newspaper ORM Deportes, who tried to put an end, definitively, to the controversy.
Alcaraz, the words on Sinner
“Sinner is the most consistent player. He has won a Grand Slam and reached, except in this tournament, the semifinals in all the tournaments he has played. He deserves to still be in that position. I have won great tournaments, let’s hope he keeps it up and we will see at the end of the year who is higher. “
These are the words of Alcaraz. A real certificate of esteem towards the Italian tennis player who surely took these statements very well. And that’s the right little word, consistency, because only in this way, taking points in all the tournaments and reaching the bottom, that one can be the best for the ranking. A Sinner who despite the physical problems he has had has always shown that he is ready, to give his all, to never back down. And after a few days off now he is ready to get in shape to go to Paris to try to win the five-ring tournament. That would be the ultimate, that would be sensational.
