Sinner compares Alcaraz to the King Of Clay

There are plenty of things Sinner has opened up on Carlos Alcaraz and proves that how both of them are really different players pointing out how Alcaraz has a strong and explosive approach to the game while he is more calm and composed, but along with this answer he also started comparing Alcaraz to King Of Clay and 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal saying " Carlos is similar to Nadal, he presses from the first point and runs a lot. He knows how to turn on the crowd." These are certainly some big words from the World number 1 which he has said about one of his biggest rivals in the game.

There is no doubt that we all are impressed with how Alcaraz has played and how much he has achieved in the game. Though it might be too early to compare him with one of the biggest legends of the game we still cannot ignore the similarities he shares with the legend at all.
