Carlos Alcaraz Pays Jannik Sinner the Ultimate Tribute with Gushing Comments

Carlos Alcaraz reflects on his remarkable 2024 season but credits Jannik Sinner as the top player of the year.

Alcaraz’s Stellar 2024 Season

Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed a sensational year, winning both the French Open and Wimbledon, cementing his place among the top players in men’s tennis. The 21-year-old Spaniard is widely recognized as one of the emerging kings of the game, alongside Jannik Sinner.

Alcaraz Acknowledges Sinner as the Best

Despite his own achievements, Alcaraz believes 2024 truly belongs to Jannik Sinner. Even though Alcaraz has won all three of their head-to-head matches, he insists Sinner’s overall performance this year sets him apart.

“It doesn’t matter that I have beaten Jannik three times,” Alcaraz said. “Probably I didn’t play good tennis in some tournaments. My win percentage this year is high, but Jannik is on another level. He has over 91% wins this year—few players have achieved that.”

Alcaraz praised Sinner’s consistency and highlighted it as a goal he aims to achieve in the coming season.

Preparing for Future Success

Alcaraz reflected on areas he wants to improve: consistency in tournaments and avoiding early exits. He emphasized his desire to perform well in every tournament next year.

“In the tournaments that I didn’t play well or didn’t go as far as I wanted, I’ll try to do better. I’ll try to avoid early-round losses that happened this year.”

Feeling Fresh at the End of the Season

In past seasons, Alcaraz found it challenging to maintain his form late in the year, but he feels more prepared this time. Reflecting on his improved preparation and mindset, he explained his approach.

“I’ve realized that the season keeps going after long stretches away from home. I knew important tournaments were coming up, and I wanted to play well,” said Alcaraz. “I want to finish second in the rankings, so I need to stay fresh mentally and physically for these final tournaments.”

Looking Forward to Paris and Beyond

Alcaraz admitted he hasn’t performed well in the Paris Masters in the past due to fatigue. However, this year, he feels differently. His improved preparation and understanding of the season’s demands have given him renewed energy.

“I didn’t play well here last year. I was tired and didn’t go as far as I wanted. But this year, I feel ready. I’ve been doing great work, and I think I’m prepared to do better,” Alcaraz concluded.
