The particular obsession of Sinner with Alcaraz: “He sees more games of Carlos than of any other”

Jannik Sinnernumber 1 of the ATP, He consecrated champion in Wimbledon To conquer his second title of the season, after the Australian Open, and The first since his return after fulfilling the sanction by doping.

With the victory against Carlos Alcaraz (2nd), 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 and 6-4, the Italian could not only stop the negative streak it had in front of Spanish in recent duels, but also managed to leave behind The ghosts for having lost the Role Garros final After having three Match Points In his favor.

Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahillhis coaches, just stood out the importance of quickly recovering to what happened in Paris. “It was hard, no doubt. But we talked a lot about the fact that we were very proud of what he had done. But what is safe is his mental strength. We are lucky to work with someone like him, that every day goes out to the court with the right mentality, with a good attitude”he exclaimed the first about his compatriot.

“He saw the situation like what it was; He understood that he had played an incredible game in Roland Garros. In the end he was defeated by a better player. He never played a brick powder game better than the one he played there. So he knew he was improving as a tennis player and was able to put him aside and focus on the next day. It is a quite rare quality to have. It is a great effort of Jannik, “the Australian complemented on his pupil.

In addition, the experienced Coachthat he knew how to accompany Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Simona Halep, among others, analyzed the importance of breaking with the streak of five consecutive losses with the Murcia: “Today it was essential to win for many, many reasons. Carlos has dominated him during the last five games. They have played incredible meetings and Jannik has had opportunities to beat him in perhaps four of the five games they have played. “

“Today it was important because it was a Grand Slam final, because it was Wimbledon and because Carlos had won the last five games against him. Today I needed that victory. He knew the importance of closing the game when he had the opportunity. Therefore, I think it has seen a little more energy at the important moments and a little more concentration to tighten the belt and make sure that when he had the face of face, he kept closing the door against Carlos. Today he has done incredible job, “he said.

Regarding the rivalry that both maintain, Cahill said: “I would say that Jannik sees more Carlos games than any other because he is fascinated with the improvements that are taking place in his game. He presses us as coaches to ensure that he also improves as a tennis player. So the rivalry is real; exists. And hopefully there will continue to exist for the next 10 or 12 years“

The definition in Paris, in addition to what it meant for both tennis players, also gave a lot to talk about the good level displayed by the two: “I think it was one of the best games I’ve seen in the 25 years I have been as a coach and as a player. It was special, we had five drama sets. He was one of the best matches of all time. I think that rivalry is already amazing, and I think it can improve if these two players are pressed each other. “

“I think there are other younger players who will open their way, so it will not be just a show of two men. There will be other players, who also wait and excite us. But it is difficult to compare this rivalry with which we have just had,” added the one born in Adelaida, 59, who lost a bet with that of San Cidido that could ensure his continuity in the team.

Vagnozzi, finally, praised the movements of his pupil: “Jannik moves very well. It can slide on the grass, as a brick dust. It has a great synchronization with the ball, so you can play from the background as on the hard court. In the last three years his serve has improved a lot. Today I think he has made a very, very good game with the serve, especially with the second service. It is less attachable than before. “
