Former world No. 6 Gilles Simon believes that Carlos Alcaraz is unfairly criticized for his failures.
Simon says that the problem with famous tennis players is that they receive a lot of attention. Because of this, only victories are always expected from them. Alcaraz has already won four Grand Slam tournaments, which is a huge achievement for his age. He has already achieved great success and will achieve even more.
According to Simon, every time such a player loses, the reaction is too strong, as if he should always win. Simon believes this is wrong. Everyone knows what Alcaraz is capable of. People love him, and when he loses, everyone gets upset and criticizes him. Simon considers this attitude unfair. His words are quoted by Tennis365.
Also, Daniil Medvedev`s former coach expressed his opinion on Jannik Sinner`s return after disqualification.
He is confident that Sinner will play great. During his disqualification, he trained, so this can be considered a three-month preparation. He will need a few matches to regain his playing rhythm, but Simon is sure that he will quickly return to form. Sinner will return to his previous level and will play wonderfully, since this is not an injury, but a disqualification. He is healthy and had time for good preparation.
