I think he’s the best player in the world – Carlos Alcaraz lauds Jannik Sinner ahead of Roland Garros semifinals

World No.3 Carlos Alcaraz admitted that it is going to be a challenging Roland Garros semifinals against his arch-rival Jannik Sinner on Friday. Alcaraz said that the Italian’s movements makes him one of the hardest opponents on the tour.

Sinner and Alcaraz have faced each other on eight occasions in ATP H2H, with both winning four matches apiece. The Spaniard feels Sinner is the best player in the world and it is going to be difficult for him to topple him but he loves challenges on the court.

Sinner has moved to the numero uno position in the ATP rankings after Novak Djokovic had to pull out of the French Open due to a knee injury. The Italian won the Australian Open earlier in the season and he has been in red-hot form.

“Everything he does, he does it perfectly,” Alcaraz said of his opponent. “The way that he hits the ball is unbelievable. The way he moves, it’s really, really [good]. He pushes you to the limit in every ball, in every point. I think it is the hardest thing to face Jannik.

“At the same time, I love that. I love these kind of matches. I love this kind of challenge, to have a really difficult battle against him.”

The Spaniard feels he would be a bit nervous while going into this game as all eyes will be on this contest.

“Probably a little bit more nerves before facing him. I’m not going to lie,” Alcaraz admitted. “He probably is one of the most difficult challenges that we can face in tennis right now. I think he’s the best player in the world.

“It’s going to be an interesting one. The matches that we’ve played before have been unbelievable games. I think everybody wants to watch this match.”

“Hopefully everyone is going to enjoy that match as much as I’m going to,” said Alcaraz.
