Even though Jannik Sinner is not on Carlos Alcaraz’s list of opponents in the Paris Masters yet, the Spanish tennis player aims to be ready for the challenge. Ahead of his Paris Masters opening clash, Alcaraz opened up on Sinner being on a roll this year, saying that he is on ‘another level’.
“For sure. I mean, it does not matter that I have beaten Jannik three times. Probably, I did not play good tennis in some tournaments. My percentage of wins this year is really, really high, but Jannik is another level this year. He has earned over 91 per cent of wins this year. So just [a] few players have done this before.

In every tournament that you are going to play, you want to go far or as far as you can. That is my goal the next year. In the tournaments that I did not play well or I did not go as far as I wanted, just try to do it,” Alcaraz said as quoted by ATP’s official website.
This year at the Paris Masters, Carlos Alcaraz looks to be consistent. He has a 4-3 record in the event and hasn’t made his way past the quarterfinal stage. With Djokovic out of the equation this year, the Spaniard has a massive chance to shine in the playoff and also make his way into the final. Alcaraz has had a fine year till now and he has already defeated Sinner at the China Open. But winning the ATP 1000 title in Paris would be a massive plus in his career.
