It also cost him the world No. 1 loss after suffering a seventh defeat at the past eight Lexus ATP Head2head meetings with Carlos Alcaraz – Jannik Sinner admits it’s time for a change.

The 24-year-old Italian, who fell four games in Sunday’s U.S. Open final and reflected on their competitive trajectory, vowed to shake everything. Speaking at a post-tourism press conference, Sinner admitted that he became too “predictable” and stressed that he needed to develop his own game if he wanted to spin the table.

After failing 6-2, 3-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, “I’m very easy to predict in court today. “That’s definitely [what] We will continue to work hard. I’m trying to prepare for the next game and I’m going to fight him.

“It also depends on how you get to Carlos. One thing is when the score line is [or] The previous games were comfortable, but you always did the same thing like me, for example, in this game I didn’t do a single inning of Walley, didn’t shoot a lot, and then you got to the point of going against Carlos, where you had to step out of your comfort zone.

“So my goal is to start now and maybe even lose some games, but trying to make some changes, trying to be a player unpredictable because I think it’s something I have to do, trying to be a better tennis player. At the end of the day, that’s my main goal.”

In recent years, Sina has been almost inaccessible on the hard court, recording a 27-stroke winning streak on the ground in the final of Flushing Meadows. However, Alcaraz now defeated him four times in a row on his long-standing strongest position.

The dominance of sinners is based on his ability to blast through the baseline opponent, a weapon he used to defeat Alcaraz as he was in his first Wimbledon title in July. However, due to the PIF ATP ranking number one and number one at the U.S. Open, Sina was only defeated by Alcaraz, who scored twice as many winners in two hours, 42 minutes of battle (42 to 21).

“He has improved. I think [he] A little clean today. I did something very well in London and he did better today,” said Sinner, comparing Wimbledon to the U.S. Open fight. [the] result. I think everything he did today was slightly better, especially on both sides, both sides were very clean.

“I think that’s it, I have a lot of praise for him because he handles the situation better than I do. He has to improve himself at his level. I’m still proud of myself, and in the seasons I play and make, he’s better than I play today than I do.”

Although Sina cannot defend his U.S. Open Championship and will be ranked second in the world on Monday, he is proud of what he has achieved in 2025. At the Australian Open and Wimbledon and Wimbledon’s titles and reached the finals of Roland Garros and the U.S. Open, Sinners became the fourth season of the Open era, the fourth championship in all four grand seasons.

“Overall, in terms of the results of the season, it’s amazing,” Sina said. “Four Grand Slam finals this year. Two Grand Slams won and two losses in the finals, which is an incredible result, isn’t it? [I’m] Very happy, now we try our best to complete the year. ”

During his 65-week domination on the PIF ATP rankings, Sina found himself playing the role of chasers, rather than hunting—a shift in perspective he admitted could prove valuable.

“Sometimes it’s just adding something, and I think it’s going to be, or from my personal point of view, I can say I’m going to be a better tennis player,” Sinner said.

“I’m going to change a few things on the serve, just small things, but they can make a big difference. Then, we see how it develops. I look forward to playing in these games again. Now, I’m no longer No. 1, so there’s a change to chase you.”

According to Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, Sina will leave New York with a record of 37-5 this season.

Although he is now behind Turin’s Alcaraz’s 2,590 points in the PIF ATP live game, the dominant Nitto ATP Finals champion will close the gap in the final gap of the season as they compete for the ATP end-of-year No. 1 by PIF Honors.
