Carlos Alcaraz has won in a very tough three-set match against Jannik Sinner in the final of the Beijing Tournament (China Open 2024) in a duel that could have been won by anyone.
The player from Murcia, after the match, said something that is rare to hear, that the opponent he has just beaten is the best in the world.
“It was a really close match. Jannik once again showed he’s the best player in the world… at least for me. The level he’s playing… It’s unbelievable.. really high quality of tennis physically, mentally.. he’s a beast," said Alcaraz.
Sinner had won 18 out of his last 19 tiebreaks. But Alcaraz didn't lose hope. “No I didn’t lose hope. But I knew the stats.. I didn’t lose hope but I thought ‘ok I have to give everything I have to give myself the chance to be close.’ I played great points to get it to 3 all. After that I just thought to go for it. If I lose it, at least I went for it. That’s all I thought in that moment.”

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024

- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
