Carlos Alcaraz's Peak Power Past Jannik Sinner's But 'At Expense Of Consistency'

Carlos Alcaraz struggles with consistency, and it's not something that only tennis fans observed, but many former pros and current analysts.

The young Spanish player has managed to win a Grand Slam title every year since 2022. In 2022, he won the US Open. In 2023, he won the Wimbledon Championships, and in 2024, he won two majors, first triumphing on the Parisian clay at Roland Garros and then on the grass courts at Wimbledon.

At that pace, Alcaraz might become one of the greatest tennis players of all time, if not the greatest. But to really become the greatest, he will need to improve one crucial aspect of his game: his consistency.

Although Alcaraz won the same amount of Grand Slam titles as his rival Jannik Sinner in 2024, he's almost 5,000 points behind the Italian in the year-end ATP Rankings.

That just shows how much more consistent Sinner was throughout the season. But Alcaraz's struggles are sometimes not related just to tournaments but also to matches, sets, and even games.

Former player Andrea Petkovic spoke about Alcaraz's struggles with consistency, and another former player, Guy Forget, also talked about the young generation of players in a recent interview with TennisActu.

According to the former World No. 4 player, who also served as the Roland Garros tournament director, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will stay ahead of the rest of the field, who will have to work hard to catch up with them.

At the same time, Forget also didn't forget about Novak Djokovic. He sees the Serbian player in his own category, as he's proven countless times why he's the most successful tennis player of all time.

When further speaking about Alcaraz and Sinner, Forget noted something that many former players and current analysts mentioned when talking about the two youngsters who will likely dominate the ATP Tour in the coming years.

While Alcaraz's peak level can be higher than that of Sinner, which he proved in 2024 by beating the Italian in all three of their meetings, he can struggle with consistency, which costs him in the long run.
