“It’s crazy”: Taylor Fritz makes interesting revelation regarding gameplay of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner
America’s Taylor Fritz has made an interesting revelation about the gameplay of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner. Both are already regarded as two of the best men’s tennis players in the singles category currently playing in the circuit.
Fritz, who is having an impressive season where he became the first American player to play in the final of the US Open in 18 years, has been recently quoted in a report where he made an interesting revelation about the gameplay of Alcaraz and Sinner. The 26-year-old was of the opinion that both players shot power is about 10 mph faster than that of the shot power of the original ‘Big Three’ consisted of Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, Spain’s Rafael Nadal and Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
“They just play these lateral baseline points,” he said while speaking to the Tennis Channel. “I don’t know what these crazy points you see Nadal and Federer – mostly you see Nadal and Novak have these long points corner to corner. But when Sinner and Alcaraz do it, I swear they’re doing the same rallies but hitting the ball 10 mph faster. It’s crazy.”
Fritz’s comments can be validated from the fact that he has faced both players recently. He lost to Sinner in the final of the US Open in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. He then lost to Alcaraz during the Laver Cup’s final encounter, which helped Team Europe reclaim the title after a gap of two years. Sinner and Alcaraz are going through an impressive season. They became the primary reason why Serbia’s Djokovic finished the year without a Grand Slam for the first time in seven years. Sinner lifted the Australian Open after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in a five-set thriller with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Alcaraz lifted the French Open title after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final in a five-set thrilling contest with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2. The 21-year-old then went on to win the Wimbledon title as well after beating Serbia’s Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.
