00:00Yannick has a mental advantage towards all the other players.
00:03They're scared of him.
00:04They know if they play him, they're going to look bad.
00:06But I don't think he wins because of that.
00:11Definitely, Siner showed the quality of his overall game
00:14and how much above the immense majority of the players he is.
00:17And also his mental quality.
00:19You know, it's one thing to win when you are an outsider.
00:22It's another one to win when you're a favorite with a lot of expectations.
00:25In his case, he's able to put everything on the side and play his best.
00:29Just to say more about his game, he really has the modern game.
00:32There is not one thing you can think,
00:34if I do that extremely well, he will be in trouble.
00:36No, because you play fast, you play slow.
00:38He has no problem.
00:39You play high, you play low.
00:40He has no problem.
00:41You play on the forehand, on the backhand, any type of ball.
00:43He has the answer.
00:44He's way above most of the players in terms of level.
00:46The only option is to beat him by playing better tennis than him.
00:49I don't think that Sasha loses this Grand Slam final
00:52because he doesn't believe enough.
00:53I think he does believe.
00:54But when it comes to the big moments, he lacks being bold,
00:57being aggressive, taking the risk, taking the match, really taking it.
01:01He pushes himself to do it, but it's not natural yet.
01:03I think he needs more time.
01:05In that match against Yannick, all the big moments, most of them,
01:08he decided to play and not miss.
01:10Yannick is not going to miss either, but Yannick is going to play faster.
01:13Every occasion you're going to play shorter, he's going to destroy you.
01:15So this is not how he can win against those guys.
01:18If the match would have lasted, I think he would have had more chances.
01:21And I think he had this in his mind.
01:23But you have to bring him there.
01:24And in order to bring him there, you have to push him.
01:26You have to punch him. You have to make him suffer.
01:29There is no other way.
01:29If you play at a rhythm that is comfortable with, nothing's going to happen.
01:32The only hole in the racket of Yannick Sinner is the fact that I don't feel
01:37that he has always been able to play five sets at a very high level,
01:41especially in that Australian Open.
01:43Yannick is not above everyone.
01:44I don't think he is above Carlos.
01:46I think when Carlos is at his best, there is a real match.
01:49And I'm not sure who's going to win.
01:50Nobody can say who's going to win.
01:51And all their matches have been extremely close, extremely uncertain.
01:55And Carlos won some big ones.
01:56They have a different type of game.
01:57Carlos is making many more unforced errors than him.
02:00He's playing with much more risk.
02:02The quality of Sinner is that he plays at a crazy high pace without missing.
02:06The asset of Carlos is that he has this incredible power in the racket,
02:11but also ability to change rhythm.
02:13He goes like at a certain pace and suddenly accelerates the pace like crazy.
02:17So the fact that Carlos is making more errors
02:19maybe makes him look less dominant in the matches against the other players.
02:23But he has so much margin. That's crazy.
02:25Look at the achievements.
02:26Both won two Grand Slams last year.
02:27And Carlos, for the moment, has one more Grand Slam than Yannick.
02:30And he's actually younger.
02:31I don't think that we can say that Yannick is way above Carlos.
02:34That's not true.
02:34For the moment, in what we've seen,
02:36there are two guys who are above anyone else.
