Juan Carlos Ferrero explains why Alcaraz is the only one who can beat Sinner: "That's what bothers him the most."

Juan Carlos Ferrero , former tennis player and coach ofCarlos Alcaraz , has given his opinion on Jannik Sinner 's current level at Roland Garros after his return to the courts and on the new rivalry that has emerged in the world of tennis between the Italian and the Spanish player.

"There are several tennis players who can beat Alcaraz, and only Carlos Alcaraz can beat Sinner. Do you agree with that comment?" Manu Carreño asked the Valencian coach on El Larguero , who didn't hesitate in his response: "Recently... yes, I agree. Jannik hasn't lost to anyone other than Carlos since the US Open or even before."

" Alcaraz has the perfect style. He can create many tactical situations within the match, which is what bothers Sinner the most. A player, for example, like Rublev, who plays him at the same speed or height all the time and without generating substitutions... well, it's harder for him to beat him. That's why Carlos has the perfect game," added the former world number one and 2003 Roland Garros winner.

On the other hand, Ferrero spoke about Jannik Sinner's current form following his three-month suspension, highlighting that "he's very solid" and that all this time has allowed him to "build muscle and come into the clay-court season feeling refreshed."

" He's very solid, and he's come back with a lot of desire despite being out for three months. It must have been a very uncomfortable situation for him. That said, he's had three months to develop his muscles and he's come into the clay season very fresh. He looks eager and playing just as well as he did in Australia. We're not surprised by his level because we already know he's at it," concluded the 45-year-old coach.
