Becker claimed that Alcaraz was clearly better than others, even better than Sinner in the final, and deservedly won the tournament. “From the first minute to the last, Alcaraz was clearly better than all the other players and even better than Sinner,” said Becker. “In the final, he was clearly the boss. He played tennis from another planet and deserved to win the tournament.”

He also pointed out the big difference, saying: “The big difference I noticed in this duel was on serve; Sinner was clearly weaker, and that’s unforgiving. If he has a real weakness, it’s this one.”

"I was a little disappointed" - Becker

Becker further said that he expected a lot more from Sinner, but the performance in the final left him disappointed.

“I am one who always thinks to tell the truth. I was a little disappointed. I expected more. But of course, I was not disappointed by Alcaraz. Because he really played tennis better today than a year ago. He had more variations, he had speed changes. He played serve volley. He played backhand slice. He played forehand where you don’t see the ball,” he said.

“And I think Sinner, for the first time, stood still with his game. He is now predictable. You know exactly what always happens. And it’s not as bad that I see it that way. It’s worse for him that Alcaraz sees it that way,” he added.
