Jannik Sinner ‘Going To Change A Couple Of Things’ After Defeat Against Carlos Alcaraz News24 –

Jannik Sinner lost the US Open 2025 final against Carlos Alcaraz following which he acknowledged that his predictability played a key role in defeat against the Spaniard. The loss has come in as a realisation of what went wrong and the areas which are required to be worked upon. Sinner handled the defeat graciously and mentioned that he would want to change a couple of things on the serve.

Sinner reflected on his main goal and opined that he is willing to lose matches in order to become better.

“So I’m going to aim to maybe even lose some matches from now on, but trying to do some changes, trying to be a bit more unpredictable as a player, because I think that’s what I have to do, trying to become a better tennis player. At the end of the day, that’s my main goal.”

With 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 win, Alcaraz ended Sinner’s season with an impressive 27-match unbeaten streak on hard-court Grand Slam. With this dashing win, Alcaraz will now claim the number 1 spot on Monday and he will be returning to the top after September 2023.

“He has improved. I felt like [he] was a bit cleaner today. The things I did well in London, he did better today,” Sinner said, comparing their battles at Wimbledon and the US Open. “That’s [the] result. I felt like he was doing everything slightly better today, especially serving, both sides, both swings very clean.” Jannik Sinner said praising Alcaraz’s game play

“I think that’s it, I give lots of credit to him, because he handled the situation better than I did. He raised his level when he had to. I’m still proud of myself, about the season I’m playing and making, but yeah, he played better than me today.”

“Overall, the season result-wise, amazing,” said Sinner. “Four Grand Slam finals of the year. Two Grand Slams won, two times lost in the final, it’s incredible results, no? [I’m] very happy, and now we try to finish the year as strong as we can.”

“Sometimes adding just something, and I think that’s going to be or that’s going to make a difference from my personal point of view that I can say that I’m going to become a better tennis player,” said Sinner.

“I’m going to change a couple of things on the serve, just small things, but they can make big differences. Then we see how it goes. I’m looking forward to playing these matches again. Something new is now I’m not No. 1 anymore, so it also changes a little bit that you chase.”
