Turin, 26 Dec. (LaPresse) – "I don't identify with either of them. They are different players from what I was. I think Carlos is more unpredictable: he makes more mistakes, plays more spectacular points and sometimes doesn't have such a defined style of play, which makes him unpredictable and entertaining for the spectator. Jannik is a more methodical and focused player, with a more defined style of play, and he adds elements little by little, which is why he is so solid and loses so few matches." This is what Rafa Nadal said in an interview with the sports newspaper As, talking about Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. ‘Sometimes it seems that Carlos is more unfocused, but when you look at the results… he has had an incredibly consistent and solid year in all the major tournaments. That's why it makes me laugh when I hear people say he's unfocused: the results say otherwise, that's my point of view,’ he adds. ‘Will I be Davis Cup captain one day? Why not? I might like it… or I might not,’ continued the former Majorcan champion. ‘I've just retired; it's too early to think about it. I have to respect the adjustment period, this is not the time to think about it.’
