1- A question of autonomy
“We have two players who were not able to prepare properly. In five sets, on earth, with two boys who will inevitably make each other move a lot, in hot conditions, it will be physically demanding. What is their autonomy at very high speed in a tough match? I put a very clear advantage for Alcaraz, who was injured on an upper limb (right forearm), while Sinner was injured on a lower limb (hip). He didn’t do anything at all, he started again two days before the week of preparation for Roland, it’s extremely short. While Alcaraz was able to do physical. Will Sinner be able to pull himself away to get the difficult balls, will he not hurt his hip again? There, he will have no choice. »
2- Alcaraz more earthy
“The surface is much more favorable to Alcaraz, because he has an ideal game for clay. He has this kick on the serve, this ball that spins a lot on the forehand, the diabolical drop shots, he is mega physical. He has everything to be exceptional on clay! Which cannot be said for Sinner for whom the best surface is hard, even if we are talking about all-terrain players. He has a more linear game, with fewer lifts, cushioning that he perfected recently. He has a narrower palette on earth. »
3- Sinner fears nothing
“Sinner has the ability to upset Alcaraz, because he doesn’t fear him. And because he’s the best player in the world right now. He has the answer to many problems. His great strength is his moment of catching the ball. He’s a modern-day Andre Agassi. He stays super close to the line, he distributes, and he is simply exceptional at what he does while covering the ground very well. »
