Sinner-Alcaraz, change at the top of the rankings: announcement puts pen to paper on what will be next year. Here are the words
The Sinner-Alcaraz duel will be the one that, no doubt, will keep the tennis world alive for a very long time. The Italian is at the top of the world rankings and will end 2024 in first place; the Spaniard, on the other hand, after winning two Slams, has not found the continuity that the Italian has shown.
An absurd continuity, also because of what has been behind in these months with a positivity that came out in August, to public opinion, and that instead Jannik had been carrying for a long time. He continued to play, the thing he does best in the world, proving that he has qualities that go beyond everything: not only sporting quality, but also and especially mental quality. In short, a number one in everything. Of course, Alcaraz obviously will not give up, and according to Bertolucci, the Spaniard’s goal is quite clear.
Sinner-Alcaraz, the commentator’s announcement
The Sky commentator, who is also occasionally hosted on La Gazzetta dello Sport, had this to say about the continuing comparison between the two: “Carlos said that in Paris he gave the maximum of what he can offer now. If the level is that in Turin as well, well he will have a big problem to solve. In two weeks, though, a lot can change. Of course against Humbert in Bercy he played his worst match of the year,” he said.
And then, “His ambitions are clear: Alcaraz wants the throne of Sinner, he is not content to be number two or number three. It is obvious that he can never be satisfied but he is caged in this very spectacular and overflowing game of his that only works when he is well. If he is spinning at the top of his game it is impossible to beat him, but he has some ups and downs that are still too obvious. When he stutters it becomes a problem for him, and if you want to be number one in the world this you can’t afford it.” Sinner therefore will have to watch his back next year. Alcaraz wants the throne and will try hard to oust the blue. Who on his own side is quiet and after arriving in Turin for the Atp Finals, resoundingly welcomed, he doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.
