Carlos Alcaraz has made a completely unexpected statement that has something to do with Jannik Sinner: he has decided, he will do it this way.
Last December, Jannik Sinner was awarded a rather important title. Not as king of this or that city, but as a friend of Formula 1. He, who loves motorsports viscerally, has from that moment on committed himself to promoting and spreading the fascination of motorsports by all possible means.
He does it every time there is a Grand Prix, regardless of that status, because few things he enjoys as much as seeing two drivers duel near the finish line. Perhaps it’s because it reminds him of the thrill of match point, the race to the decisive break and victory. The fact is that this is not the only way he has connected with the Circus.
Not everyone knows that, in the not too distant past, when the current world number 1 was still a student at Riccardo Piatti’s academy, he began a very interesting collaboration. That is, with Formula Medicine of sports physician Riccardo Ceccarelli. A kind of psychological, scientific and mental consulting-collaboration program that is based on the assumption that in sports brain and muscles count equally. And that, consequently, taking care of the mind is an indispensable step in the career of a champion who aspires to eternity like him.
Alcaraz also winks at Formula 1: as of this moment he will
He is not the only tennis player, at any rate, to be inspired by Formula 1 and that magical world of thrill, adrenaline and mental toughness.
Carlos Alcaraz, following in the footsteps of Jannik Sinner, also seems to draw on it when he needs a charge and energy. And a few weeks ago, in this regard, he traveled to Monza to attend the Gp. “I wanted to go to Formula One for a long time,” he said, ”but the tennis schedule doesn’t allow us to go to a lot of events. After the US Open it was a difficult time for me, I needed to reset my head.”
“The way the drivers are focused on every step of the warm-up and everything is crazy. I thought about doing the same when I approach the match,” he added, admitting that he wants to be inspired by the Formula 1 champions and draw some valuable lessons from their way of doing and experiencing the sport.
