made a distinction between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after losing to the former at the 2026 Miami Open.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old Brazilian was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by world No 1 Alcaraz in the second round of the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>It was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/joao-fonseca\">Fonseca<\/a>\u2018s first match against the 22-year-old Spanish superstar, and it came shortly after he lost 7-6(6), 7-6(4) to Jannik Sinner in Indian Wells in his first encounter with the world No 2.<\/p>\n<p>In his press conference after his defeat to Alcaraz, Fonseca was asked if he is already getting used to playing the top players on big courts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I think they (the matches against Alcaraz and Sinner) helped me to understand different types of games,\u201d said the world No 39.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Alcaraz has more arsenal than Sinner. Sinner is more like a robot that just kills the ball and does everything perfect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Carlos, he can do everything. He can do with topspin, he can fire the ball, he has good movement. He goes to the net. He has everything. And it\u2019s more difficult to understand the game. He breaks a lot your rhythm.<\/p>\n<h2>Miami Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-speaks-joao-fonseca-expectations-miami-open-2026\"><strong>Miami Open: Carlos Alcaraz makes \u2018wrong\u2019 comment about Joao Fonseca expectations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-warning-jannik-sinner-advice-rusedski\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz gets some candid advice as he is told one area where Jannik Sinner is \u2018better\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

He got more used on the court. This I felt a lot. He got an early break in the beginning of first set and beginning of the second set, and then he played his game, with good shots, going to the net and approaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, I think Jannik\u2019s game helped me to enter the court with no fear, trying to play my game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think I didn\u2019t get the opportunities that I had [against Sinner], and of course he played good. He\u2019s No 1 in the world. But I need to think about my mistakes and try to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fonseca added: \u201cHe (Alcaraz) has most of everything. So you don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming, and if it\u2019s coming serve, serve and volley, if it\u2019s going serve wide and do a plus-one shot, you kind of don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s the difficulty of playing against him. You need to almost play a perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a fun match. Carlos, he played some amazing shots. It was entertaining, and I think was good for the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jack-draper-defeat-miami-open-confessions\">Stunning statistics served up as Jack Draper suffers shock defeat at Miami Open<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Open: Joao Fonseca makes telling distinction between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Ewan West 21 Mar 2026 10:13 AM Joao Fonseca with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner inset Joao Fonseca made a distinction between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after losing to the former at the 2026 Miami Open.
