‘Man defeat’ Carlos Alcaraz pays attention to the sharper Jannik Sinner in the French Open

Carlos Alcaraz Roland is full of confidence in Roland Garros after dropping his chief rival Jannik Sinner in Rome, but the defense champion expects the Italians to be a more difficult suggestion after the doping ban. When Alcaraz and Sinner returned to the second of the world after the Italian open victory this week, the game will be on the opposite side of the lottery while preparing the ground for the final breaking another box office records between the two rising superstar. 22 -year -old Alcaraz won 15 of 16 matches on Clay this season, won the victory in Monte Carlo, and after kidnapping Madrid with a thigh injury, he reached the Barcelona final before he went to Rome.

He also had Sinner’s late number and won his last four meetings to get advantage of 7-4 head-to-heads, which includes Alcaraz’s five-set victories last year’s French Open Semi-finals. Sunday’s success Sinner’s 26 consecutive victory resulted in a consecutive victory.

Four times the Grand Slam champion Alcaraz believes that the difficulty of playing Sinner brings the best of him.

Alcaraz, “The best player in the world. It is not important to leave the tour for three months. Every tournament plays great. The numbers are there. He wins almost every match he plays.” He said.

“If I’m not playing in the best way, 10 out of 10 will be impossible to defeat it. So when I play against it, I focus more on it, or when I face it, I feel a little different from other players.

“That Aura is different when you see it on the other side of the net.

“I will not say that I feel when I play Rafa (Nadal) and Roger (Federer), but when we face each other, I feel like a different energy.”

Sinner was subjected to the first flat set loss in Rome in 18 months and underlined his sovereignty at that time. Although it is equally impressive, he ran to the finals in his first tournament since he maintained his open championship in Australia in January.

– ‘closer than expected’ –

“I am more than anything else,” Sinner said, “I am more than anything,” Sinner said, after testing positively tested twice for traces of the banned anabolic steroid clashes.

Sinner has always entered his system through a massage from a physiotherapist who used a spray to treat a segment.

In the end, the authorities agreed that the contamination was accidental and that a longer ban would be “unjustly harsh sanctions”.

“After three months here, this result means a lot to me, Sin Sinner said after the second in Rome. “I don’t play good tennis in Paris. It gives me confidence.”

Sinner called Alcaraz as “man to beat”, but Alexander Zverev is one of the imitators titled only in the final last year’s final. Zverev later lost to Sinner in the Australian Open Final, but after winning in Munich, there was a clay cup under his belt this season.

After losing in the quarterfinals in Rome, he made a late decision to enter the Hamburg event this week and sought a support after a “very negative” loss to Lorenzo Musetti.

“This cannot be the last match before the French deficit … I need positivity before it starts,” Zverev said.

– Djokovic is under the radar –

Novak Djokovic will touch Paris with limited expectations for a man with a record 24 Grand Slam title, three of which came to Roland Garros.

For a long time, the old world has fell to the sixth place in the number one world rankings, and the tour level has been vulnerable to the possibility of a quarter -finals against Alcaraz or Sinner while waiting for the 100th title. The latter came to the Olympics, where Alcaraz took a difficult gold medal in the court Philippe Chatrier.

Djokovic jumped Rome after the early exit in Monte Carlo and Madrid, and wants to rediscover a form by playing in Geneva.

Madrid champion Casper Ruud Roland Garros second, Jack Draper from England, Indian Wells won and reached the Madrid final after winning the fifth.

Musetti also performed well during clay swing. Italian lost the Monte Carlo final to Alcaraz and made his last four in Madrid and Rome.

Holger Rune, the only player defeating Alcaraz on Clay this season, but Barcelona fought on both sides of his victory for fitness.
