Jannik Sinner does not hide how disappointed and sad he is after losing to Carlos Alcaraz. Although he fought like a lion for five and a half hours, the Italian was defeated.
The match ended recently. It was a good match from my side and his side. It could have ended in three sets, or four, five. The level was high. At one point I didn’t serve well, but he returned well. The audience was good. My second match on Ashes. Good, but very heavy.” -Began Sinner and continued:
He could not explain the difference between him and Carlos.
I don’t know. I have to talk to my team. It is certain that I did not serve well in the third set. I remember I had an easy forehand at 3:3 and 40:30. Those are some key points. When you play for over five hours, there are many key points. He got some, I got some. We both wanted to win, that’s for sure. We did our best. “
“He also had a set point in the second set. Something, as I said, went to my side, something to his side. But I certainly could have played better. It’s not easy to talk now. It’s different when you’re on the field. You feel more pressure at the moment. That’s part of the game, “Sinner added.
Physically, he feels completely fine, even though he played a very long match.
“I have had some heavy defeats before. This one is at the top of the list. At least that’s what I think. However, I think this one will hurt even longer. I will wake up and try to see the positive, to see the other side, but it will be difficult. The next tournament is the Davis Cup. Before that, I’d like to learn the best way to repair things. Maybe next time I’ll win. It was certainly a high level. I hope this is a good match for the audience’s taste. Last time I won, now it’s him and that’s all. “-concluded Sinner.
