start of 2024, Alcaraz and Sinner have secured the last nine Grand Slam titles between them, with the former winning five and the latter claiming four.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a>, who is currently the world No 1, has won 29 consecutive matches, having triumphed at Masters tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a>, the world No 2, has won the Australian Open and Qatar Open in 2026, while he was beaten by Sinner in the Monte Carlo final. The Spaniard has not played since pulling out of the Barcelona Open last month due to a wrist injury.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during an event in Rome, Toni Nadal \u2014 the uncle and former coach of Rafael Nadal \u2014 revealed why he would choose to coach Sinner over Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d train Sinner,\u201d Nadal said. \u201cHe\u2019s got discipline, good manners, and a mindset that reminds one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n<h2>French Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/john-mcenroe-carlos-alcaraz-injury-novak-djokovic-roland-garros-french-open-hopes\"><strong>John McEnroe gives honest opinion on Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s injury &amp; Novak Djokovic\u2019s French Open hopes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/john-mcenroe-jannik-sinner-french-open-roland-garros-carlos-alcaraz-absence\"><strong>John McEnroe reveals \u2018the best chance\u2019 of Jannik Sinner losing at the French Open<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

Everything in life can be improved: it\u2019s just a matter of dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nadal recently claimed that Sinner was \u201cnot as brilliant as Alcaraz\u201d as he assessed how the Italian has improved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, he\u2019s improved. He\u2019s more consistent,\u201d Nadal told Radioestadio Noche.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe used to have certain difficulties, and I don\u2019t think Alcaraz exploited them enough \u2013 on drop shots and low balls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was lacking a touch of finesse, but he\u2019s improved in that area. He\u2019s incorporated the drop shot into his game, he\u2019s also getting to the ball more easily, and he\u2019s better at handling situations when someone changes the pace or plays a drop shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSinner is a great champion. He has many strengths. He\u2019s not as brilliant as Alcaraz, but he\u2019s more consistent. He doesn\u2019t usually lose his composure on court; he handles the pressure well. He\u2019s a player who has it all, or almost all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-explains-why-he-still-believes-carlos-alcaraz-is-a-step-behind-jannik-sinner\">Alexander Zverev explains why he still believes Carlos Alcaraz is a \u2018step behind\u2019 Jannik Sinner<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toni Nadal chooses between coaching Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in revealing comments Ewan West 26 May 2026 2:30 PM Toni Nadal on the Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz rivalry Toni Nadal made some telling comments as he addressed whether he would prefer to coach Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz.
