Sinner is down again. Moment far from positive for blue tennis player, beaten in another ranking by Alcaraz
The issue is very simple and has been in the public domain in recent days. Sinner at the moment despite being first in the ATP rankings, seems to be one step behind that Alcaraz who has won the last two Slams and who during his short career, still, has won a total of 4 major tournaments.
We then discuss what is the real value of the ranking that sees in front of everyone our Italian who is currently preparing for the Paris Olympics that will open at the end of next week. A concrete goal, despite the fact that the physical form – as we saw at Wimbledon – is not the best and despite the fact that the playing field is better suited to the characteristics of the Spaniard. Who is therefore the favorite, even according to the bookmakers who placed the odds. And then there are also additional data, those highlighted by OptaAce, which demonstrate another factor that is certainly worth considering.
Sinner still behind Alcaraz
OptaAce has published some data regarding the first Slams played of the year. In this particular statistic the breaks converted by the five champions occupying first ranking positions are highlighted.
We are talking about Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev. And it is precisely the Spaniard who leads, also quite clearly, this special ranking with 107 breaks made. “Alcaraz’s skill in response, but also his coolness in converting the chances that came in front of him. Behind him is Sinner with 83 converted break balls. Rounding out the podium was Zverev with 78. Fourth and fifth were Medvedev (77) and Djokovic (71). As mentioned the young Spaniard has already achieved record number for his young age.” This is the reading of the figure given by tennisworlditalia.com commenting on these numbers, which are described as almost surreal.
