Grand Slam’s eight -time champion was criticized by Carlos Alaras

While all attention was chained to triumph Yannik Sinner on Wimbledon 2025, some discussed the defeat Carlos Alaraswho failed to protect the title for the third time in a row. Due to the fact that the Italian was much stronger than the match, the Spanish tennis player seemed tight and devoid of ideas in the third and fourth sets. With every step forward, which was made by the first racket of the world, the expression of the second face became less confident in the possibility of Cambek.

At the end of the third set, Alaras turned to his team with a candid confession: “From the back line he plays much better than me, much better.” These unexpected words have become a real shock, because the Mursdia player usually radiates the positive and fights the last point – as it was only a month ago in the finale of Rolan Harros, where he played three matches.

This desperate confession showed a sense of Sinner’s game advantage, but for some former tennis players, it was a manifestation of weakness that was not worth showing. This opinion was expressed by the former number one world rating and the two -time Wimbledon champion (1974, 1982) Jimmy Connor In its podcast Advantage Connors, as reported by Tennis365.

“It is unacceptable. I don’t know if I could ever admit it. Whatever happens, you have to go forward, change the game, try something else, ” – said the eight -time champion of a big helmet tournament.

One of the American claims is the lack of an alternative plan in Alcaras to cope with Sinner’s dominance in the last two sets.

“I know that I repeat it often, but if plan A does not work, you need to invent something else. I was also defeated on Wimbledon a couple of times. This happens to everyone, ”recognizes the three -time finalist of the London tournament.

“If you want to beat me – you will have to beat me. I’ll try to play three different options. If you beat me in the first and second, in the third I will try something differently. It may not be visible from the stands, but it is difficult to admit, ” – says Connor, who has repeatedly praised Alcaras, but this time he criticized his behavior in the Wimbledon finals.
