Jannik Sinner Reveals How He Wants to Describe His and Carlos Alcaraz’s Era: 'Cannot Compare What the Big 3 Did'

Jannik Sinner shares his experience of playing Novak Djokovic in Grand Slam matches

It was Jannik Sinner‘s fifth consecutive win over Novak Djokovic and now, he leads 6-4 in the head-to-head matchups. Sinner has also improved his win-loss record over the 38-year-old in Grand Slam matches as he now holds a 3-2 edge.

Also, for the first time in his career, Sinner has secured the win over Djokovic at Wimbledon. Back in 2022, Nole came from two sets down to knock the 23-year-old out in the quarterfinal, before beating Nick Kyrgios to capture his seventh trophy at SW19. The following season, Djokovic defeated him in the semifinals in straight sets.

It’s very difficult to pinpoint Novak’s weaknesses. Certainly, improving physically has helped me a lot because it means you don’t rush to end longer rallies. I now feel much more comfortable in that aspect and, overall, I don’t rush as much, but at the same time, it’s very, very difficult to play against Novak. You feel the nerves before starting the match. Today was no different.

Jannik Sinner said at the press conference

Djokovic, for the first time since 2018, has failed to secure a spot in the Wimbledon final. In the previous two seasons, it was Carlos Alcaraz who denied him the win.

Alcaraz is aiming to become the second man after Bjorn Borg to complete the Channel Slam for two consecutive seasons. In their first-ever meeting in a Grand Slam final- at the French Open last month- Alcaraz defended his title in five sets after battling for more than five hours, saving three match points in the process.

Sinner and Alcaraz are chasing their second and sixth title of the season, respectively. The five-time Grand Slam champion is also aiming to become the fifth man in the Open Era to emerge victorious at Wimbledon three times on the trot.
