Alcaraz liked it, too.
“I’m really happy that I didn’t lose my focus too long in the first set,” he said. “I recovered it as soon as I got broken, and I’m really happy that at the end of the set I was able to play really good tennis in the return game.”
The thing is, when Sinner is in top form, the way he seems to be, there may not be time for Alcaraz to have any dips or concentration losses at all.
Sinner began his rise to No. 1 with his title run in Beijing last year. He’s still at the top today, and I’ll pick him to defend that title. And like the Italian said, I’ll also hope that they can come together to produce some of that old Sinnaraz magic along the way.
