Five days after the men's singles final of the US Open 2025, we are still gathering some insights from the world of tennis, personalities experiencing this rivalry from different perspectives. Today we hear from Filippo Volandri, captain of the Italian Davis Cup team and a close associate of Jannik Sinner. In statements collected by Ubitennis, the former world number 25 shares his analysis of the outcome of the fourth Grand Slam of the season, particularly focusing on the evolving rivalry where Carlos Alcaraz seems to have taken the lead.

“The beginning of the match was very tough, but Jannik did well to react and level in the second set, tying the score. At that moment, however, he needed to make a qualitative leap with the serve, both in terms of percentages and speed. There are not many more secrets; on the other side of the net, he found an opponent who was superior until the end, there is no point in dwelling further on the matter. We know Sinner; we know he will learn from this defeat, I am sure he will start over and win again,” said the man who retired from the tour in 2016.

“Since the beginning of the tournament, we had noticed the improvements and the great form of Alcaraz, mainly focusing on his serve and physical condition. Even when Jannik managed to take control of the exchange, seeking acceleration, Carlos responded with an even stronger shot, putting pressure on the opponent. As of today, I still believe that Sinner is the best in the world under pressure, but it is true that in this final, he failed to sustain it in the best way, making several unforced errors with his forehand at key moments, such as break points,” emphasized the Italian, present throughout the event on the San Candido player's bench.

A RIVALRY DOMINATED BY ALCARAZ

There is no longer any doubt that this decade will be dominated by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, as the data from the last two seasons reflect. However, it is not good news for the Italian that he has barely been able to win one of their last eight encounters. Too much of a difference for two men who, theoretically, should live in perfect balance. We all could sense that feeling of inferiority, especially the current world No. 2, who lost his leading position precisely after the final. For Volandri, who also shared that feeling, it's just a matter of time before the tables turn again.

"Sinner felt on the court that his opponent was more powerful than him, that he even served better than him, all of which took away his reference points and diminished his confidence. Yet, he fought until the end, saving two match points with great class, until again he faced two first serves over 130mph. This brings us back to the service issue, which was decisive, allowing Alcaraz to dictate the match. The Spaniard was better, nothing to say there, but I know Sinner will come back to turn the situation around,” pointed out Filippo.
