Serena Williams’ former coach clarified the features of the younger Spaniard’s tennis, underlining how the 4-time Grand Slam champion is stronger than his Italian rival, when he’s at his greatest.
“Alcaraz is able to create more. He has extra power in his shots and he can counter him in terms of movement. The fact is that Alcaraz currently makes quite a lot of unforced errors; Sinner doesn’t. So the matches between them have a lot of ups and downs and change often.
When Alcaraz plays at his best, I think he is capable of being better than Sinner. But he can’t play at a certain level for a whole match. Sinner, on the other hand, is consistent. He can hit a winner in every single point. These are my feelings. You can never relax against Sinner, you are always in danger,” defined Mouratoglou.
