After losing the Beijing tournament crown, the transalpine tennis player spoke about the demands of facing Alcaraz and acknowledged the Spaniard’s merit. “Today is his day. He played better in the big moments, and that was it. They were very close sets, decided by very few points, and now those points went to him,” said Sinner, who He interpreted their rivalry as one that brings the games to their highest point of need.
“Every time we meet, we try to push ourselves to the maximum. For me, he is a reference point”, commented the world number 1 about his confrontations with the Spaniard. “They’re long, physical games, with a lot of turning points, and I think people like them,” he said.
After crashing out in Beijing, the current world number 1 looks forward to his participation in the Masters 1000 held in Shanghai, a tournament where he hopes to “get into the rhythm quickly.”
