"He is more consistent": Goran Ivanisevic calls Jannik Sinner 'better' player than Carlos Alcaraz
ATPTuesday, 05 November 2024 at 18:30
Former world number two Croatia’s Goran Ivanisevic has
called Italy’s Jannik Sinner a ‘better’ player than Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz. Both
are already regarded as two of the best men’s tennis players, along with Serbia’s
Novak Djokovic, in the singles category.
Ivanisevic, who has coached Djokovic in the past for six
years and is now working with the women’s world number five, Elena Rybakina,
has recently spoken to the Tennis Majors, where he called Sinner a better
player than Alcaraz. The 53-year-old, who won the Wimbledon title in 2001,
further went on to state that the Italian tennis star is ‘more consistent’ in
matches.
“They’re different players,” he said. “But when they are
both at their best, I feel that Sinner is better. He is more consistent
throughout the match, whether Alcaraz can go from hitting amazing shots to some
easy errors. This year, Carlos had a few losses I couldn’t explain… If we move
Novak out of the equation, they will dominate, they are way above anyone else
on the Tour.”
Both Sinner and Alcaraz are going through a fabulous season
as they won two Grand Slams each. The Italian tennis star lifted the Australian
Open after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in a five-set thriller
with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He then lifted the US Open after
beating America’s Taylor Fritz in the final in straight sets with a score of
6-3, 6-4, 7-5. On the other hand, Alcaraz won the French Open after beating Alexander
Zverev in the final in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1,
6–2. He then went on to lift the Wimbledon title for the second time in two
years after beating Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2,
6-2, 7-6.
