Carlos Alcaraz A streak of five consecutive victories Jannik Sinner It was snapped up in this year’s Wimbledon final, but Espanyol is already looking forward to another heater against the world’s number one. This may sound like an impossible task for mortals, but for Alcaraz, Alcaraz has a lifespan of 8-5 for Italian, you will never know.
Prior to Monday’s final in Cincinnati, the five-time major champion said he was happy to face the sinners in the couple’s first final and held the 14th session throughout the hard court.
“I think if I did not do anything wrong, it would be the first final on the hard field,” Alkaraz said. “So, I’m excited to be in this challenge. I know Jennik is undoubtedly the best player in the world on the hard-selling court and is probably on every surface right now. So it’s going to be a great game.
“I have to prepare for it and see what I did wrong in the last game. I will try to do better on Monday. I’m so glad to get to another final. I think it’s my seventh straight, fourth place against Jennik. So it’s going to be a great day.”
Alcaraz: Small Detail Count
The second seed Alcaraz said he learned from all the battles with sinners, and he was always pursuing tactical wrinkles, which might give him an advantage.
“I would say it’s about the little details,” he said. “Obviously I’m learning. I’m learning from every game and playing with him because from the first game, I’m sure he did it, too.
When asked what makes sinners as difficult as their opponents, Alcaraz said how he managed to deliver top tennis every time he met.
“It’s crazy, he always does his best and it seems like you have to win every point in every game. He makes you suffer from it until the first point of the game, until the last ball. Until the last ball. You know, the ability in spirit, the point of mind, the point of mind, the point of mind, and the point of the game, and it’s really special.”
