From his recent interview:
"No, I don't think it adds or removes pressure. The season unfolded as it did: yes, the Grand Slams were shared, but we still had two very different seasons. I am extremely happy with the year I'm still completing. I feel what I have achieved is exceptional. What Carlos is achieving is also remarkable: he has won many titles this year. He deserves to be up there, it's as simple as that. He has played more tournaments and played them all at a very high level of tennis. If he has produced great results, he deserves to be there."
Lol at Sinner's butthurt here. He pretty much says, "Alcaraz is number one because he played more tournaments. Had I played that many tournaments, I would be the number one."
Dare I remind you why Alcaraz played more tournaments?
Or should I remind you how Sinner fared against Carlos in tournaments where they both were in the draw?
