Jannik Sinner has revealed the key behind his Wimbledon<\/a> win, saying “hard work always beats talent.” The quote from the SW19 champion perfectly sums up the type of player he is, while possibly taking a subtle swipe at rival Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, whom he recently beat in the Wimbledon final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sinner, 23, and Alcaraz, 22, represent the future of tennis<\/a> in the post-‘Big Three’ era. They’ve already claimed four and five Grand Slam crowns respectively.<\/p>\n

They clashed in what many consider one of the greatest major finals in memory<\/a> at the French Open<\/a> last month, where Alcaraz showcased both grit and extraordinary ability to survive three Championship points and triumph at Roland-Garros, despite trailing by two sets at one point.<\/p>\n

The pair locked horns once more on Wimbledon’s Centre Court earlier this month. Sinner gained his revenge with a 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory.<\/p>\n

As the two have increasingly dominated tournaments over the last two years, a narrative has emerged suggesting Alcaraz possesses more natural ability, given that he\u2019s physically stronger and has a broader range of impressive strokes at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Sinner, meanwhile, lacks the same flair that characterises the Spaniard’s game, but his disciplined and hard-working approach has enabled him to progress tremendously and forge a relentless and reliable baseline game.<\/p>\n

The Italian delved into that as he explained his Wimbledon triumph, possibly taking a jibe at the easy-going and party-loving Alcaraz<\/a> in the process. Sinner said in a recent interview: “I always say that hard work beats talent. And that\u2019s what I try to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always go on a practice court with a purpose, and I believe that the mindset you start to build in practice sessions, when you struggle, when you have pain, when you at times don\u2019t want to practice…<\/p>\n

“But you still go and you still do everything possible to make it a good day. If you cannot do it in practice sessions, then you cannot do it in the real matches.”<\/p>\n

The difference between Sinner and Alcaraz is clear even with regards to their on-court demeanour. While Alcaraz is known to regularly fire up the crowd, Sinner maintains a cooler, more composed presence \u2013 something that may have given Alcaraz an edge during his incredible comeback in Paris.<\/p>\n

Their two differing styles and Sinner\u2019s comments were supported by former tennis star Mats Wilander recently, where he explained why the Italian is potentially a better role model for aspiring tennis players.<\/p>\n

In an interview with L\u2019Equipe<\/a>, the Swedish legend said: “I think his tennis is five or 10 years ahead of what I imagined the evolution of the game would be. A bit like when, in football, for the first time, there was quick one-touch passes.<\/p>\n

“The speed of the game was turned upside down. He\u2019s leading the way and will quickly serve as a role model, because not everyone can play tennis like Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

“That requires extremely rare talent. On the other hand, everyone can try to play like Sinner, which doesn\u2019t require exceptional talent in itself, but total dedication.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are currently the dominant forces in men’s tennis and the Italian has aimed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[870,7384,7882,101,118,56,54,55,116],"class_list":["post-12095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-french-open","tag-mats-wilander","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wimbledon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
