Kokkinakis analyzed the styles and thinking of both players and emphasized what he sees as Alcaraz’s only weakness.
He quoted Sinner’s consistency and peace as the reasons why he favors Italian, while Alcaraz describes as a powerhouse with the exciting variety of shots and noted that even a dynamic player like him has a usable area.
“It’s so hard to say that because I think, as at their peak, the highest level, I think Carlos probably has an advantage. He has a little more diversity and a little more firepower.
On the other hand, Kokkinakis described the sinner as “mentally stable”, emphasized his consistency and reliability in court. Unlike Alcaraz, Sinner does not focus on the affection of spectacular shots; Instead, it provides a constant performance that viewers can always rely on.

Kokkinakis said that in a big event like the US Open, the key is not the one who can hit the most amazing shots, but who can stay folded and play their game and complete the matches.
