Feliciano Lopez, the new Davis Cup Finals director, mentioned the Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner and his goal to counter Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic at the US Open. Lopez highlighted this while he was in New York to introduce the competition.
Lopez believes that Sinner is the only player capable of stopping Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz from winning the Grand Slam title at the US Open.
Lopez discussed it during a conversation: “Sinner is someone who can stop Alcaraz, their matches have always been very tough. I think he’s one of those who can really stop Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, perhaps the only one. I don’t see anyone else who can beat these two.”
