‘It’s crazy’ – Carlos Alcaraz shuts down Serena Williams’ ex-coach bold comments that spark Jannik Sinner debate
Carlos Alcaraz has made his stance clear on who is the best tennis player in the world. The Spaniard responded to comments from Serena Williams‘ ex-coach Patrick Mouratoglou who went viral for his opinion on Jannik Sinner. Carlos Alcaraz won the last final between the pair in Beijing In January, Sinner continued his red-hot form when he won the Australian Open, securing his third Grand Slam inside 12 months. Sinner is ranked as the world No.1 and most see him as the best player on the ATP tour as his meteoric rise has seen him win 80 of his last 86 matches. Although this did not stop debates about who is better being reignited after Mourtagolou, claimed that Sinner “is not above everyone.” “Everyone sees Sinner as the best player in the world right now, but I don’t agree,” he wrote on Instagram. “Jannik is not above everyone, I don’t think he is above Carlos. When Carlos is at his best, there is a real match, and I’m not sure who is going to win, and nobody can say who will win. “Carlos won some big ones against him. I think Jannik and Carlos are above everyone else. The difference is, they have a different type of game.” These bold comments from the man who mentored the best female tennis player of all-time hold some weight and they quickly reached Alcaraz, who is in Rotterdam ahead of the ATP 500 tournament. The Spaniard was humble when confronted with the claim, and he was quick to shut down the discussion by making it clear who is number one right now. “Jannik is the best right now,” Alcaraz said. “He has lost only four or five matches in the past year, so it is crazy people say who’s better out of us.” Sinner’s dominance on the court is felt by every opponent who has faced him as the Italian has won his last 21 matches, something the four-time Grand Slam champion recognised. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz enjoy a good relationship off the court Jannik Sinner has won the last two Grand Slams available “But for me, I think for a tennis player, we have to face Jannik and he is winning everything he is playing,” the four-time major champion added. “He is focused every time, so I think he is the best. Every tournament he plays, he makes the final or lifts the trophy.” Alcaraz also reflected on his disappointing Australian Open exit, where he lost in a four-set thriller to Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals. “I really wanted to win the tournament and felt I was able to but Novak played an unbelievable match,” the 21-year-old said. “Facing Novak in the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam is the worst thing. It was a pretty good match. I have tried to take the good things about that match and will look ahead now.” The two-time Wimbledon champion is into the round of 16 in Rotterdam, a tournament he will want to win, after defeating familiar foe Botic van de Zandschulp 7-6 (3) 3-6 6-1.
