Nadal Differentiates Alcaraz and Sinner, Defends Alcaraz’s Consistency

He signals openness to a future Spain Davis Cup captaincy.

Overview

  • In a December 26 interview with AS, Rafael Nadal assessed Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner from his post-retirement vantage point.
  • Nadal said Alcaraz is the more unpredictable player, prone to more errors but capable of more spectacular points and sometimes lacking a clearly defined style.
  • He described Sinner as methodical and concentrated, with a clear game plan and steady additions that make him very solid and hard to beat.
  • Rejecting claims that Alcaraz is inconsistent, Nadal said the world No. 1’s results at major events demonstrate strong consistency.
  • Nadal said he now experiences the sport through his academy, watches tennis intermittently, and would consider taking the Spain Davis Cup captaincy in the future.
