Nadal, honest about Alcaraz and Sinner: “I don’t identify with either, they are different from what I was”

Rafa Nadal is no stranger to the direction in which the ATP circuit is moving and closely follows the endeavors of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the current big dominators. In his conversation with AS, the Balearic made it clear that he “does not identify” with either of them, as they are different tennis players from what he was. He compared their personalities and playing styles, also advocating for the Murcian.

“They are different players from what I was. Carlos, perhaps, is more unpredictable and fun, since he is more random, makes more mistakes, sometimes makes more spectacular points, and does not always follow the same game pattern. Jannik is more focused, more methodical, and also adds things little by little, which makes him so solid and lose so few matches”, pointed out the manacorí before making his short plea to defend Alcaraz from criticism. “I find it curious when they say he is scattered: the results tell a different story. He has had a very consistent year, has been incredibly solid in all aspects”, declared the 14-time champion of Roland Garros.
