I remain convinced that Sinner will win more than Alcaraz in their respective careers," Panatta reflects on the Rome final

The duel between Alcaraz and Sinner turned to the advantage of the Spaniard (7-6, 6-1) during the final of the Rome Masters 1000. Another victory for the world number two after their match in Beijing last year. In an interview relayed by Tennis World Italia, former player Panatta reflected on this opposition:
"The Spaniard deserved it and, overall, he was superior. But only slightly. Sinner had the first two set points, he recovered a tiebreak that seemed lost. I wonder what this match would have been like if Jannik had had continuity in competition, without the very unfair three-month break taken away from him.
At Roland-Garros, both players will arrive with the greatest confidence, which they will need. I remain convinced that Sinner will win more than Alcaraz in their respective careers, because he is more consistent, while the Spaniard seems to become so only when he plays against the Italian. But there is no doubt that when Carlos manages to combine all that is best in his tennis, the level he manages to develop is the highest on the tour.
