It is back to the drawing table for Jannik Sinner after he lost to Carlos Alcaraz 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the US Open final on Sunday afternoon.
During his press conference, Sinner offered an interesting assessment of the game and his general game.
“I was very predictable on the field today,” the 24-year-old explained. “He did a lot of things; he has changed the game. That is also his style of how he plays. Now it will be on me if I want to make changes or not. We will certainly work on that.
“I try to be more prepared for the next game I will play against him. It also depends on how you get to play against Carlos. One thing is when matches [earlier in the tournament] Are comfortable, you always do the same things. During this tournament (before the final) I did not make one serve (s) volley, did not use many dropshots. And then you arrive at a point where you play against Carlos where you have to go out of the comfort zone. ‘
Sinner added that he could change his game into earlier rounds-even if it means losing lower players-to in the final to prepare better for a possible matchup with Alcaraz.
“I’m going to strive for – perhaps even (means it) losing a number of games from now on -[try] To make some changes, try to be a little more unpredictable as a player. Because I think that’s what I have to do – attempt to become a better tennis player. At the end of the day that is my main goal. ‘
That does not mean that Sinner has to make my only form of drastic changes. After all, this is a man who was number 1 in the world for 65 weeks before he fell behind Alcaraz on Monday at number 2. The Italian has won four Grand Slam titles, all in the last two seasons. This year he reached the final on all four SLAMS. Although the sinner is now 5-10 life against his most important rival, He defeated Alcaraz in Wimbledon And should have to have won the French open-final he lost to Triple-Championship Point Up.
“In general, the seasonal (IS) is great,” concluded Sinner. “Four Grand Slam Finals of the Year, two Grand Slams won, lost twice in the final. These are incredible results, isn’t it?
“(I am) very happy. Now we are trying to end the year as strongly as possible.”
