Noted tennis coach Toni Nadal is a huge fan of Carlos Alcaraz, and he recently said that the Spaniard is a far superior player to Jannik Sinner.
Both Toni Nadal and Alcaraz are Spanish, so it’s not surprising that in most of his statements, he favors his compatriot, who may be the successor of his nephew. However, he also speaks as somebody who knows tennis deeply, not just as a fan or a compatriot.
Many would agree that Alcaraz is likely the slightly better player overall, but the Italian doesn’t seem behind that much. He led him in their most recent match at Roland Garros and is the current number one on the ATP Tour.
Still, to Toni Nadal, the Spaniard could simply accomplish more when he’s on a tennis court, and it has nothing to do with the surfaces.
“Alcaraz is better, he accomplishes more on the court than Sinner, his tennis is more varied. I see Alcaraz with more opportunities to accomplish more in the future.”
