Jannik Showed That Hes The Best Player In The World, At Least For Me Only Carlos Would Say This After

“Jannik showed that he’s the best player in the world, at least for me” only Carlos would say this after beating him he’s so IN LOVE

Hey did yall see vagno's ig story??

a lot of people: carlos alcaraz is the best player in the world right now

carlos alcaraz: jannik is the best player in the world, at least for me

okay

they seem giggly and smiley on that stage 🥹 but i really wonder how their dynamic is gonna change now bc it's already lowkey one-sided from jannik and like 3/6 of his losses this year were to carlos...

let me preface this by saying that I obviously know nothing about the inner workings of jannik sinner, but here is my two cents

it’s getting mental. jannik has proven that he has the game to beat carlos (he even proved it today imo) but after the iw semi he started playing less confidently against him and that was his downfall. he either went for too much or played it too safe, and he was just overthinking everything. I think if he had been playing just a little looser, he would have won today

and this isn’t the first time this has happened. jannik was pretty bad in their iw23 semi and that was a direct result of the uso22 qf. I think jannik’s problem with carlos right now is that he’s playing to not lose, he’s not playing to win

sincaraz is going through it right now because of jannik constantly losing, but also because he’s not letting himself enjoy the match like he used to. today, carlos got even more amped up when they played a good point, and there were hints of that from jannik (like the “come on!”) but nothing like, say uso or miami or even the smiley rally in iw where he kinda goes with the flow of the tennis. idk if this is making any sense, but it feels like jannik is actively trying be stoic on court where it would normally just come naturally

I think there’s a lesson for jannik to learn in his recent matches against carlos. it’s all part of the Process!

help

due to time zones i didn't get up early so much as stay up late and. idk if i'm gonna make it through three sets. 🫠
