The rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz And Jannick Sinner She is already the most acclaimed in the world of tennis today. If they had already offered the viewer great confrontations, with the final in Beijing, both confirmed the idea that their duels are synonym of spectacle.
The reason has to do with the different playing styles of the two. Carlos East speed and pure poweralways gets straight to the point and Fisherman it’s a bit more conservative. The Italian feels very comfortable in defense and makes very good use of the power with which he hits the rival.
This is why the matches between the world number one and number two are so frenetic. Their playing styles oppose each other and Fisherman was one of the only ones capable of putting Alcaraz.
Andrea Petkovicretired tennis player and champion of seven WTA titles, did her own analysis of the best rivalry that currently exists in tennis: “People go see Carlos more. Fisherman boring if you play badlyas happened in the first week of the US Open, it quickly becomes boring, because just play solid and the other ends up failing. So it’s boring.”
“But when he plays well, he is the the most spectacular player in the world. Alcaraz, on the other hand, when to fail, to fail admirably. It’s interesting to see that chaos. I think that’s the difference between the two,” Perkovic admitted on the Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast.
In any case, each style has its qualities and its faults. While Alcaraz he risks more and averages morewinners and more unforced errorsSinner decides to be more careful and wait for the rival’s mistake or the ideal moment to press. A perfect combination capable of giving as a gift exhibitions like the one in Beijing.
