The tennis world holds its breath at the birth of a new rivalry with historical undertones between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Everyone dissects in detail the aspects that will enhance their battle for glory, and the analysis by Patrick Mouratoglou deserves attention, both for the depth of his reflection and the significance of the figure.

His involvement in the circuit is maximum; he has dedicated his entire life to tennis and possesses unquestionable analytical capacity. Despite the controversial nature of Patrick Mouratoglou, his experience as an elite coach and talent developer is undeniable, making his opinion on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz intriguing. His reflections, gathered in Tennis365, have not left anyone indifferent, where he also addresses a potential comparison with the Big 3.

- The French coach believes that Alcaraz's ups and downs come from having so many arguments in his game

"They have a completely different playing style from Roger, Rafa, and Novak; I do not think it is logical to compare them with them, and I consider them much more than just two guys who hit the ball very hard," stated Mouratoglou, who aims to avoid the simplification that some are falling into, asserting that the only difference between the best in history and the current dominators is the speed of the ball. The French coach anatomizes the games of the Spanish and Italian.

"Carlos can do anything on the court; he is perfect in practically all areas of the game. His forehand is incredible; I see no weakness in his backhand; he can change heights, effects, and speeds; his game at the net is impressive; he has the drop shot variation and is physically a beast. He has too many weapons in his game, and that sometimes causes him to lose direction and make too many unforced errors," he affirmed.

What makes the rivalry between the Spanish and Italian interesting are their different styles. "Sinner is a machine. He may do fewer things, but he is starting to add new elements to his game. He is not as good as Carlos, but what he does well is impressive. He takes time away from the opponent, hits with great power and precision, his movements are insane, and he makes very few mistakes. His matches are exciting because whenever Carlos drops a bit in level, Jannik maintains the pace," acknowledged Patrick Mouratoglou, aware that tennis could be facing a new historical rivalry.
