The two main players in the world share a great mission – and their rivalry will produce more massive moments, Carlos Alcaraz said
World no. 1 Jannik sinful The twice double champion Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to make history as the first Italian to capture a wreath of Wimbledon Singles today.
After that, Alcaraz praised the sinner for a “incredible” show.
The second-order Spaniard, who suffered his first major final defeat after going 5-0 in his previous Slam finals, says Wimbledon’s showdown is just the beginning.
Alcaraz said the rivalry between the side is unprecedented in the ATP tour, they are combined to gather seven direct Grand Slam championships, and will only become stronger as they are in the squad in more finals.
“First of all, I (am) simply, really happy to have this rivalry with him. I think it’s great for us, and it’s great for tennis,” Alcaraz said after seeing Wimbledon Wimbledon won. “Whenever we play against each other, I think our level is really high.
“I think we don’t see a level like this, if I’m honest with you. I don’t see any player playing against each other, you know, having the level we’re playing when we face each other.
“I think, as I said a lot, many times, this rivalry is coming better and better. We are building truly great rivalry because we are playing the final of a Grand Slam, the Master Mills final, the best tour in the world. It will be better and better.”

The Pairift produced Tenis Transcendent with Alcaraz by saving three championship points to prevail in setting five hours, Roland Garros’s 29-minute final last month.
The 22-year-old Spanish said Sinner’s ultra high game level did not surprise him.
Alcaraz said that ultimately the key to the match was the second superior service of Sinner – and the fact that the reign of Australian Open and the US Open Champion repeatedly attacked Alcaraz’s second service by removing the back on the line.
In general, Sinner served a higher percentage-62 percent to 53 percent), earned 49 percent of the second service points played in the Spaniard’s second service and traversed the scenario in the Net Superior player. Sinner won 30 out of 40 net trips, compared to 17 of the 23 net points for Alcaraz.
“The way he played today was really, really high. I didn’t surprise at all,” Alcaraz said. “I knew he would play so. That’s how it is some details.
Yes, I mean, in general he didn’t surprise me at all because he knows he is a great champion …
“I think the big key was about the second service. He was returning really well there the second serving I was hitting. Thanks to this, he was in a position to attack the second ball every time. So it was really difficult when you were just protected all the time and running from side to side all the time.”

Reflecting on his first final final loss, Alcaraz said he is “grateful” for sin because no. 1 will force No. 2 to improve his game.
“Only really grateful for this because it gives me the opportunity to give only 100% of my every practice, every day,” said Alcaraz, who runs rivalry 8-5 after the sinner kidnapped a five-section by losing his belt against the Spaniard. “Just to be better, thanks to this. The level I have to keep and I have to raise if I want to beat Jannik is really high.
“So I just really grateful for that.”
