The Brazilian stated that Carlos Alcaraz has a greater repertoire of blows than Sinner. But the Brazilian defined the Italian as a “robot”, who performs all the movements with ease.
“Facing both of them helped me understand their different playing styles. I think Alcaraz has a wider repertoire of shots. Jannik is like a robot, he simply hits the ball hard and does everything perfectly. Carlos, on the other hand, can do absolutely everything on the court. He can topspin the ball, hit the ball with great force, get to the net, change the rhythm. His movement is spectacular and it’s difficult to understand his game”, explained João Fonseca.
