Alcaraz Continues Shanghai Scouting Mission as He Hopes for Jannik Sinner Revenge

According to Reports ‘Alcaraz Continues Shanghai Scouting Mission as He Hopes for Jannik Sinner Revenge’ Carlos Alcaraz maintained his scouting efforts at the Shanghai Masters on Tuesday by attending yet another match featuring one of his recent rivals.

The tournament’s top seed, Alcaraz, was present in the stands to witness Jannik Sinner—his recent adversary—compete against Ben Shelton in the round of 16.

This followed his attendance at Daniil Medvedev’s match, where Medvedev suffered defeat at the hands of Sebastian Korda.

Alcaraz has now made it a point to observe the matches of Sinner and Medvedev, the two opponents who had recently bested him. The Spanish player was eliminated by the world No. 4 in Beijing last week, and it was the Russian who had sent Alcaraz packing in the US Open semi-final.

After his defeat to Sinner at the China Open, Alcaraz mentioned that he would diligently study and analyze the matches alongside his coach to avoid a similar loss in the future.

The second set had slipped away from him during the 7-6(4) 6-1 loss to Sinner. Alcaraz followed through on his commitment by watching the Italian face off against fellow youngster Shelton during his day off in between matches.

During this off-day, the 20-year-old was seen studying the game alongside his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, making efforts to strategize for future encounters with Sinner.

Addressing his recent loss to the 22-year-old, Alcaraz expressed his determination to learn from the defeat and make necessary changes to his gameplay: “I talked with Juan Carlos on how I would have to change it, you know, how can I be better, you know, on that part.

Obviously, I have to do my homework, to re-watch the match and to see the things more clearly, you know, and study what happened exactly, and be able to practice and be better in this tournament.

I have just one day to practice and then the tournament is going to start, but I think I’ll be ready, and I’ll change what I did wrong in Beijing.”

Observing Shelton’s hard-fought three-set victory, Alcaraz might have gained valuable insights on how to potentially defeat Sinner in future encounters. Sinner dominated the first set with 15 winners, clinching it 6-2.

However, Shelton, celebrating his 21st birthday, made a strong comeback and took the second set 6-3. The final set saw both players missing numerous break-point opportunities, leading to a tiebreak. Ultimately, Shelton managed to secure a 2-6 6-3 7-6(5) victory, ending Sinner’s seven-match winning streak.

Reflecting on his recent defeat to Sinner, Alcaraz acknowledged getting frustrated in the second set, vowing to work on controlling his emotions: “In the second set I was mentally out [of it].

I was complaining too much, something that really makes it difficult for you to play at your best level, that’s what it means to be angry with yourself.” Last week, Alcaraz showcased his mental resilience by bouncing back from a break down in both sets to defeat Dan Evans 7-6(1) 6-4. He emphasized the importance of mental strength in securing the win and turning the match around.
