Only thing missing is a serve which far more easy to get than Baseline weapons. And Sinner Is far superior at off both wings than Alcaraz)

Alcaraz has more variety, more mentality and a higher ceiling than Sinner. His ground game and forehand is more versatile also. I don’t see it but time will tell.
Sinner’s game is very low margin. Alcaraz has shown he is able to regroup and change tactically. Sinner is kinda predictable and no plan B player. Of course he is very dangerous when he is on the zone.

From what I have seen so far from Sinner, he has a game similar to someone like Thomas Berdych or Robin Soderling, those type of players. That could land him a major title, or two.

However, Is that type of game enough to be a multiple grand slam champ and number 1 for hundreds of weeks? History suggests no but maybe Sinner can create his own history :unsure: :unsure2:

Lol what a ridiculous statement. Name me single Grand Slam or Masters 1000 title for Sinner. Done? I thought so. He has never won any. While Alcaraz won 2 Masters 1000 and 1 Grand Slam so far already. And he's 2 years younger!

Sinner will never win Grand Slam at this rate. Perhaps few Masters 1000 titles are possible, but Grand Slam? Nah sorry.

I doubt Sinner will achieve as much as the start thinks he will. His pencil neck body won't hold against beasts like Alcaraz and Rune. He needs to gain weight and bulk up, which could slow down his speed, which is already quesionable. I see him going through a career like Berdich's.

Sinner coming back from RG to win Wimbledon is much bigger than Alcaraz coming back from Wimbledon to win USO because while Alcaraz already won a USO title, Sinner was widely derided and mocked for his lack of grass titles/success despite the obvious signs. I was proved right when almost everyone on MTF doubted him.

And now they doubt him again. Feel free to sleep on Sinner again while he cooks up a training regime with his team to improve big time in the coming months.
