Patrick Mouratoglou published new content on his very active Instagram account and analyzed the match valid for access to the final of Roland Garros Between Carlos Alcaraz And Jannik Sinner. The well-known coach believes that the Spaniard technically played one of the worst matches of his career and that only mental strength allowed him to get back into the match after a complicated start.
Mouratoglou also recognized that a Sinner in total control felt cramps quite early due to less than optimal physical preparation. In fact, the South Tyrolean had to stop before the start of Roland Garros due to a hip problem, thus missing the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
Mouratoglou: “Alcaraz beat Sinner by playing one of his worst matches”
“Alcaraz he technically played one of the worst matches of his career and defeated the world number one. The lesson that emerges from the match between him and Sinner is that even when things don’t work out, you can win.
He was far, far away from his level. He didn’t feel the ball well nor his legs, he was extremely slow in everything he did, because the emotional part was taking over,” explained Mouratoglou.
“Sinner they were ahead 6-2, 2-0 and there was no match. Suddenly he started creaking and felt cramps. When you don’t feel well, you focus on yourself and don’t think about the guy on the other side of the net, who may also not be feeling well.
If you mentally stay there and keep trying, you can always have a chance. Many people tend to complain, one thing that doesn’t work. They say to themselves: ‘I don’t feel anything. I’m playing horribly and I’m going to lose the game.’
If you act like this, you have no chance of succeeding. You have to find a way to talk to yourself so you don’t sink. There is always hope. This mentality offered to Alcaraz the chance to win in the end.
Physical appearance also played a big role, because we all saw that Sinner he had cramps quite early in the match due to poor preparation due to the stoppage.”
