00:00You had the guys who were not missing and the guys who were at the fire in the racket and Sinner has both
00:07I think what makes Sinner very special is his ability to play at an incredibly high pace without missing
00:14First of all, I think he's one of the guys who plays the fastest because of the way he hits the ball
00:18But also because of his movement he's moving forward all the time that makes it extremely difficult to play against him
00:23Plus his movement is unbelievable. So basically when you attack him he counter punches
00:27He has the qualities of Novak in terms of counter punching
00:30And I think he plays at a higher pace than Novak taking the balls earlier moving forward
00:34more and when you're very aggressive taking the balls early giving no time to your opponent and making an extremely limited number of
00:40Unforced errors. I mean how do you play against a guy like that?
00:43And he improved his serve lately, which is very important
00:46And if you look at the matches when it's key moments, he hits aces and his return is amazing
00:50So you have to hurt him
00:51You have to be able to play at an incredibly high pace too because he's okay with any type of ball
00:55You can play with spin top spin. You can play with slice. You can play fast. You can play slow
00:59He's never in trouble and every time he's going to be the one that's going to attack you and I think before he was having
01:05Most of his aggressive shots were coming from the forehand
01:08And now he's able to be as aggressive with the back and also and change direction really easily
01:12Whatever ball you hit you're in danger all the time
01:14I think it makes sense to call him Djokovic 2.0 because movement counter punching
01:18Unbelievable same qualities as Novak and I think he added 2.0 because he's playing faster by taking the balls earlier
01:24He's moving up all the time so far
01:26I see mostly Alcaraz beating him because Alcaraz can create more
01:30He has this extra power and he can fight with him in terms of movement
01:34Also, the thing is Alcaraz is making quite a lot of unforced errors where Sinner doesn't so the matches between them
01:39there are a lot of ups and downs and it changes often, you know when he's leading than the other one because
01:44When Alcaraz plays at his best, I think he's able to be better than Sinner
01:48But he cannot play like this the whole match so and Sinner is always stable
01:52So that's why the matches are so close every time. Sinner can hit a winner on every single shot
01:56That's the feeling and that's quite disturbing
01:58You can never relax you feel you cannot build because you're always in danger always on every shot
02:03But what I think the most important is not that you are in danger on every shot
02:07Which is the case is that he does it with consistency. Everything is controlled
02:10He has this level of aggressiveness with the control at the same time and that's what's making him so special
02:15I think that Sinner has really the modern game at his best
02:19We've seen this evolution throughout the years first with a serve because players started to be taller and serve better
02:25The return because when you have those serves you have to be able to return better
02:28I mean before in tennis that you had the guys who were not missing and the guys were
02:33Had the fire in the racket and Sinner has both. He has the fire in the racket
02:36But more thanks to his movement and and he doesn't miss so that's the modern game. Sinner can still improve
02:41He can improve his volley. He can improve his drop shots
02:44It's things that he has improved already, but it's not at the level of the rest of his game
02:48Yeah, he does much less things than Alcaraz. Alcaraz has many more tools than him
02:53But what he does at the level he does it makes him number one in the world
