You can hit in every direction and always have a response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Sinner, you feel like he\u2019s suffocating you. You give him a short pass and he\u2019ll sink you. But then he doesn\u2019t miss a ball, he doesn\u2019t miss returns, he\u2019s always there, intense, defending, so they create different situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Alcaraz, at least from a player\u2019s perspective, it feels like he makes more mistakes, but at the same time, he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do next; he has a wider range of shots to leave you standing still.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSinner might be more predictable, but he\u2019s very\u2026 we call him Robotito. He\u2019s very consistent and always plays in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a machine. Cool. Tactical.
