Carlos Alcaraz has brushed aside Nick Kyrgios' unsavoury comparison between him and Jannik Sinner. (Reuters)Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Friday responded to controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios’ unsavoury comparison between the Spaniard and world no. 1 Jannik Sinner in a recent talk show.Speaking in a conversation hosted by Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) with French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, the 30-year-old Kyrgios shared his thoughts on the Sinner-Alcaraz comparison and who is likely to sustain greatness in the future.“Who do you think’s gonna have a better career, Alcaraz or Sinner? I’ll tell you mine first. I’ll say Sinner, because Alcaraz likes girls,” said Kyrgios. “He might get distracted, he might party too much. That’s my only thing, whereas Sinner will stay a bit locked in, I think.”“Sinner is more consistent in general,” added Mouratoglou. “It’s more his mentality. If you look at the season, Alcaraz is losing many more matches than Sinner, so many more. And you think he should not, why? But because he’s not always there. Even during the match, he has ups, downs. For that reason, yes.”However, Moratogolou conceded the ultimate comparison will boil down to the head-to-head which Alcaraz leads Sinner 8-4 after his recent epic French Open final jailbreak from two sets and a championship point down in Paris.Kyrgios made his comments shortly after Alcaraz’s much-publicised vacation in Ibiza, celebrating his French Open win, and the release of his documentary, “A mi Manera (My Way),” which emphasises his approach to becoming a champion, including extended breaks from the sport.Nick Kyrgios says Jannik Sinner will have a better career than Carlos Alcaraz:“I’ll say Sinner because Alcaraz loves girls. 😂 He might get distracted.

It’s no secret that Jannik always has fewer ups and downs than me. It’s something I’ve been working on. It has nothing to do with the nightlife world,” Alcaraz told the Spanish media at Wimbledon.Story continues below this adDropping another set after five-set first round skirmish against Fabio Fognini, Alcaraz admitted that he had gone through a gruelling test against German Struff.“His game is suited to the grass with his big serve, and he came in to the net as much as he can. I’m really pleased with everything I fought for but it was stressful. I was suffering in many service games – love 30, break points down. He was pushing me whenever he could. It was tough to survive. I was happy to get that break at the end,” Alcaraz said.The two-time champion will return to Centre Court to face 14th seed Andrey Rublev in the R16 match on Sunday.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
