Adriano Panatta is another of those former tennis players who never bites his tongue. In addition, his statements never leave anyone indifferent. The best tennis player in the history of Italy until the emergence of Jannik Sinner, sometimes defends the world number one or criticizes him, as he did after the decision of the 24-year-old not to participate this year in the Davis Cup finals.
The fact is that Adriano Panatta has once again given his opinion, this time about the question of the year in the tennis world, a question that seems to endure for many years. Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner? And the champion of Roland Garros in 1976 has praised San Candido's player again after a week at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters where the Spanish player surprisingly lost in the first round to Cameron Norrie and the Italian was crowned champion, regaining the world tennis throne.
While Panatta vented his anger two weeks earlier after Jannik Sinner's decision not to participate in the Davis Cup finals in Bologna with Italy, the former tennis player was satisfied with Sinner's performance in Paris: "He fulfilled his purpose because he was the clear favorite after Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated. Now he has regained the number one spot in the world, although it won't last long due to a diabolical system that I don't understand and don't agree with," he stated in an interview with 'Domenica Sportiva.'
Adriano Panatta issues a serious warning to Carlos Alcaraz about Jannik Sinner
After praising Sinner and criticizing the ATP ranking scoring system, he issued a warning against Alcaraz: "He might have a bad day and lose, but that never happens to Jannik in the early rounds. He either loses in the final or gets injured. So Carlos must be careful: either he stays focused or he'll never beat him again," asserted the Italian, before confessing his hope that the ATP Finals will be a showdown between the two players.

He also commented on the maturity he sees in Sinner's tennis and personality: "He now jokes with Cahill, something he didn't do before. He is experimenting with many things, constantly learning. It's not that he didn't do drop shots before, but now he uses them much more. He serves better, and his on-court attitude also seems more relaxed. He is aware of his potential; now he is practically unbeatable," concludes a Adriano Panatta who is very optimistic about Jannik Sinner, so much so that, according to his own words, Carlos Alcaraz will have to be vigilant if he doesn't want to suffer the dominance that the Italian seeks to impose.
