Sinner at the biggest tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Stine began working with the American in 2020, and since then, he has taken him from outside the top 50 to a player hovering around the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old has made one Grand Slam semi-final and three quarter-finals, along with claiming a bronze medal in doubles with Taylor Fritz at the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s career-high is eight, although injuries and slightly inconsistent form have seen him drop to 21st in the world. Stine says that this current version of the player is Tommy Paul 7.0 and the last iteration of him was heavily geared to beating the game\u2019s two dominant players.<\/p>\n<p>In eight meetings with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a>, the 6ft 1in player has won twice, with the Spaniard currently on a five-match winning streak.<\/p>\n<h2>More Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-hurt-him-confession\">Novak Djokovic reveals why Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner \u2018kind of hurt\u2019 him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/andy-roddick-carlos-alcaraz-theory-wrist-injury-concerns\">Carlos Alcaraz: Andy Roddick shares theory amid wrist injury fears<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

And in a bid to try and upset the two tennis greats, Stine revealed what steps he took to try and turn the tide in Paul\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>He said on <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g1TGQmbtajw\" target=\"_blank\">Tennis Channel<\/a>, \u201cThat was a big part of our Tommy 6.0. We pushed Tommy to become a little bit more a shot maker, more aggressive with his basic groundstrokes and hitting style so he is trying to take a little bit more time away from that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a result of him having lost to those two guys in some big matches and opportunities. Quarter-finals at Wimbledon (2024) against Carlos, round of 16 (2024 US Open) against Jannik. We felt like Tommy\u2019s attacking style lends itself to having an opportunity to beat those guys but that he needed to be a little bit bigger and more aggressive in the key moments of the matches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stine, who coached Jim Courier to four Grand Slams and the No 1 ranking in the early 1990s, tried to dispel a common misconception with Paul. While the New Jersey-born player can be one of the most entertaining players on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\">ATP Tour<\/a>, the 67-year-old suggested that is not his default mode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much as Tommy plays aggressive tennis, but unless you\u2019re around him, you don\u2019t realise is that Tommy is a bit of a risk-averse person as a tennis player; he\u2019s not as a human being,\u201d added Stine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the tennis court he hates missing balls, it\u2019s been drilled into his head since he was young that you don\u2019t make unforced errors. It took a bit of stress and pressure to get him to try and be willing to play a little bit bigger and with that comes making a few more errors but the trade-off is what he needed to try and beat those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/tommy-paul\">Paul<\/a> will hope the 7.0 version of himself is the most successful version yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/kim-clijsters-confused-by-carlos-alcaraz-tennis-return\">Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s \u2018curious\u2019 actions called out ahead of tennis return<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy Paul\u2019s coach reveals the tactic designed to beat Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Richie Mills 22 Jul 2026 9:00 PM Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, with Tommy Paul (inset) Tommy Paul\u2019s coach has revealed some of the tactics his charge employed in a bid to topple Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the biggest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2056525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2056525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2056525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2056525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2056525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2056525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2056525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
