The former tennis player Andrea Petkovic compared the game styles of two of today’s best tennis players, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The 37-year-old German considers that the figure of the Italian tennis player is really undervalued today and was ironic about the way the fans treated Alcaraz.
In the final stage of Rennae Stubbs Tennis PodcastAndrea Petkovic opened up taking advantage of the latest confrontations between the two. “People go to Carlos more. When Jannik doesn’t play wellas happened in the first week of the US Open, it’s boring right awaybecause he limits himself to playing solid and the other fails. Then it’s boring; but when he plays well, he’s the most amazing player in the world,” he explained.
Also, he excites the fans because of the way they look at the Murcian tennis player’s game. “Now, when Carlos (Alcaraz) fails, he fails spectacularly. It’s fun to see this chaos. I think that’s the difference between the two,” added the former tennis player.
The comparison does not end here. Andrea Petkovic has a personal blog (Eternal Jest) where he took the opportunity to write his view on current tennis. “If you think Jannik Sinner’s game is boring, I urge you to watch it live“, he said in the letter.
“The way he moves, always in perfect balance, the way he leans slightly forward, is a beauty. He never loses his balance,” Petkovic continued, praising the Sinner. “On television you don’t see how he hits the ball harder in the most important moments of the game. Even Djokovic or Nadal sometimes relax to hit the ball when the decisive moment arrives.Petkovic said.
