The winner of the 2025 US Open, Spanish tennis player **Carlos Alcaraz**, shared his insights on preparing for matches against Italian player **Jannik Sinner**. He emphasized the importance of approaching each game with a different mindset. Alcaraz defeated Sinner in the final of the 2025 US Open with a score of 6:2, 3:6, 6:1, 6:4.
**“You’ve faced Jannik so many times before; this was your 15th encounter. How do you prepare for such matches from a tactical perspective? Does anything change, or is it so familiar that it becomes easier?”**
**“No, it’s not easy at all. I wish it were. I would say that playing against Jannik right now presents the toughest challenge in tennis. His level, especially physically, has improved significantly. It’s really hard to spot weaknesses in his game.
We’ve played numerous times, but this is not the same as it was a year ago. Tactically, we are also evolving, approaching matches differently. I’m sure Jannik will bring something new next time. I need to be prepared for that and stay focused to anticipate what changes he might implement.
Ultimately, it’s about honing our tactical play on the court and staying as focused as possible on that aspect against him,” Alcaraz said in an interview with ESPN.**
