Sinner is capable of controlling the spin and rotation of Alcaraz's ball, Agassi compares Alcaraz and Sinner

In an interview with Tennis Channel, Andre Agassi spoke about Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who could face each other in the final of the Rome Masters 1000.

He particularly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Spaniard. He states: "It's a fascinating question, perhaps the question of the moment, considering what they both achieve and what they already represent for the sports world.

We wonder which of the two will be the best, who will have the best career. Whatever we say, it will be more a prediction than a reality.

What impresses me the most about Alcaraz, even though I think he still has a lot to improve, is his way of slowing down on grass or slippery surfaces, especially compared to faster opponents like Tommy Paul or Alex De Minaur.

These two, for example, lose a lot of confidence and balance as soon as they are on clay or grass; they don't move in the same way anymore.

I don't know how Alcaraz manages not to lose all these assets when he changes surfaces; he's like a spacecraft compared to classic planes, his strength, balance, and agility are always there.

When you see Sinner play on hard courts, it feels like he controls all the balls. There's a lot of action on the court, but Jannik is capable of controlling the spin and rotation of Carlos's ball.

Sinner hits the ball by punishing it, but always with intention and maximum energy. When he starts playing like this, especially on hard courts, like during the last US Open, it's hard to stop him.

Sinner is 'controlling' Alcaraz's spin? Alcaraz controls the spin off of his racket. Sinner adjusts to it or handles the spin effectively.
