57 h. ago Sinner’s Wimbledon focus was unblinking on every point – Alcaraz is playing catch

Italian overcame heartbreak in French Open final and now moves on to his favoured hard courts for US Open buildupWith his hopes of a third consecutive Wimbledon title desperately fading with every point, Carlos Alcaraz sat down in his chair on Centre Court after conceding the third set of his final with Jannik Sinner and bluntly unloaded his thoughts on his team: “From the back of the court, he is much better than me. Much better than me! Much [better]! It’s like this,” Alcaraz said, gesturing with his hands to demonstrate the vast gap between his greatest rival and himself.His assessment was not wrong.

Not that this was enough for the Serbian all-timer. In an act of grand generosity, he threw away the first set to his challenger Alex de Minaur, granting a rapt Centre Court crowd a rare moment of jeopardy at one of his matches.The seven-time Wimbledon singles champion was broken three times in the first set by the Australian 12 years his junior. His game was all over the place.
