The ATP circuit is racking its brains to figure out how to defeat Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The two dominators of the ATP circuit in the last two years who have barely found rivals who could beat them more than once. If both are at 100%, the list of candidates decreases significantly. Not even Alexander Zverev or Novak Djokovic manage to find the necessary consistency.

This situation leads many tennis players, along with their coaches, to not only focus on improving their game and aiming for specific goals, such as breaking into the Top 10 or winning a major tournament. Many of them also work on possible tactics to take down the Spanish or Italian players.

Tommy Paul's coach reveals the formula to beat Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner

And one of them is Tommy Paul. The current number 21 in the ATP rankings and former world number eight already knows what it takes to defeat both Alcaraz (twice) and Sinner (once). However, his latest defeat came against El Palmar's player in 2023 and against San Candido's in 2022. Therefore, the American has no choice but to take it up a notch.

This was confirmed by his coach, Brad Stine, who molded the 29-year-old tennis player and propelled him to the tennis elite, where he reached a Grand Slam semifinal at the Australian Open 2023 and two quarterfinals at Wimbledon 2024 and Roland Garros 2025.

"That was an important part of our Tommy Paul 6.0. We encouraged Tommy to become a player who creates more shots, more aggressive with his basic groundstrokes and hitting style, so he's trying to spend a little less time on that," confessed the former coach of Jim Courier to Tennis Channel.

A decision that seems easy but is not, as Stine states that Paul's tennis tends to be very calm with a preference for control: "Although Tommy plays aggressive tennis, unless you're close to him, you don't realize that he is somewhat risk-averse as a player."

This trait has been part of his tennis since the beginning, so he had to make a significant effort to make a shift: "On the tennis court, he hates missing balls; he has been taught from a young age not to make unforced errors. It took a bit of stress and pressure for him to try to play with more power, which entails making some more errors, but the price to pay was exactly what he needed to attempt to defeat those players."

Tommy Paul already knows the recipe to stand eye to eye with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, now it's just a matter of executing it.
