Stan Wawrinka is a voice that carries authority to express opinions on everything surrounding the world of tennis. The Swiss, who is currently competing in his final season as a professional tennis player after over 20 years of career, and whose main achievements have been three Grand Slams (Australian Open 2014, Roland Garros 2015, US Open 2016), shared his thoughts on the ongoing debate in today's tennis world. Who is better? Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner?

Even though the Spaniard has been sidelined due to a wrist injury since mid-April and the Italian, after an almost perfect clay court season until his collapse at Roland Garros, is somewhat physically fatigued, when both are at 100%, they are unbeatable. However, since they have become the kings of the circuit, having won eight of the last nine Grand Slams between them, comparisons are constant. In an interview with the first & red podcast, the Swiss had to choose between one or the other.

Stan Wawrinka explains why he prefers Carlos Alcaraz over Jannik Sinner

"If I had to choose one, I would go with Alcaraz. He has more versatility and tactical possibilities," confessed the 41-year-old tennis player. He emphasized that currently, they have no rivals, "Both are much better than other players, and when they face each other, it's a match everyone wants to see because of their very different styles."

Coincidentally, the Lausanne native has never had the opportunity to face Carlos Alcaraz in all the years they have shared the circuit. He mentioned in an interview earlier this year that one of the things that motivated him the most in his final year as a professional was the chance to play against the Spaniard. However, time flies, and opportunities run out, especially with the prolonged absence of the Murcian. But in the North American hardcourt swing starting in August, an opportunity could arise.
