Jannik Sinner sets new Italian record as he also beats Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic\u2019s \u2018youngest\u2019 feat<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cCarlos has all the shots, sometimes he\u2019s making mistakes, but he\u2019s going for the shots and it\u2019s more amazing to see because, at the end, it\u2019s more unexpected and unpredictable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like it, it\u2019s very funny to see Carlos play because he\u2019s able to produce amazing things and at the same time, he\u2019s able to have mistakes, and that\u2019s human.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my point of view, Carlos can improve a little bit [on] the tactical way to approach some matches. Sometimes it feels like he always plays for every big shot, and sometimes, he doesn\u2019t need that much.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m interested in how they evolve, because I think both of them have room to improve, and they are so good.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former world No 1 also shared his thoughts on Alcaraz and Sinner\u2019s epic French Open final.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe match was unbelievable because it was super emotional at the end,\u201d Nadal said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, the first three sets were not that high-quality tennis. It was a normal final. Then, fourth and fifth sets were a high-quality fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s from my point of view, talking about if I had to play against them. The fourth and fifth sets were super, super high-level tennis, emotional, had a little bit of everything. Before, for me, I think Carlos didn\u2019t play at his level. From my perspective, I think he was a little bit wrong tactically.<\/p>\n
\u201cJannik, of course, he was unlucky up 0-40, but when he had the chance to go for it, I think he was not playing with the right determination.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he stopped doing what he was doing good \u2014 going for the shots and playing with this extra speed on the ball at the moment that he had to take advantage. He didn\u2019t play as aggressive as he was doing before.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut overall, if we put the full picture, the final was unforgettable. It was amazing. The end of the match was one of the most emotional that I saw and I was lucky to see that as a fan from home.\u201d<\/p>\n
