Hey there, tennis fans It’s Mia Johnson-Carter from Miami, and I’m here to give you the scoop on what’s been happening in the world of tennis. You know how sometimes you have those matches where you just can’t seem to get the win? Well, that’s exactly what’s been going on with Jannik Sinner.
Sinner, who’s currently ranked as the ATP No. 1, has been having a tough time against Carlos Alcaraz. In fact, he’s lost three consecutive matches against the young Spaniard this season. This includes a recent loss at the China Open, where Alcaraz took home the title after an epic final that lasted almost three hours and 30 minutes.
Sinner’s streak of consecutive victories was interrupted at 15, and this marks his sixth defeat of the season. Three of these losses have been against Alcaraz, who is now leading their head-to-head record 6-4.
Despite the tough losses, Sinner showed his sportsmanship and class during the post-match interview. He praised Alcaraz and thanked the crowd in Beijing, saying:
“I’m proud of myself of course. First of all, I want to congratulate Carlos and his team. You always keep improving. You have a great team and a great family behind you, and I wish you only the best. Hopefully we can play more matches like this in the future. It’s a pleasure to share the court with you, so thank you so much. I also say thank you to my team, my family, and everyone who supports me every day.”
It’s clear that Sinner is not giving up and is already looking forward to their next match.
