Andy Roddick's Deep Dive : The Key to Alcaraz Romatikina
In the final of the 2025 Italian Open, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jennick Sinner 7-6(5), 6-1 to win his first Rome Masters. It was his fourth consecutive win over Sinner to take a 7-4 advantage in the head-to-head between the two sides. With the victory, the 22-year-old has collected all three clay Masters 1000 titles and added more confidence to his French Open title defence.
Former world number one Andy Roddick analysed the match on the tennis channel and he believes that both Alcaraz and Sinner will be satisfied with their performances at the Italian Open. Roddick said that for Alcaraz, if he had been told at the beginning of the week that he could win the tournament and beat Sinner, that would have been a perfect result; For Sinner, being able to play a good tennis game and keep a clean sheet against Casper Ruud before losing to the mighty Alcaraz is also an acceptable result. It was a great preparation opportunity for both men, with Alcaraz showing plenty of variety and variety of styles of play that made it difficult for Sinner to adjust to his rhythm.
Roddick pointed to Sinner's return and second serve as key areas for improvement.
Roddick analyzed that Sinner had problems with the return position in the game, and the accuracy of the second serve was lacking. In addition, Sinner chose to risk too much to the touchline, and while he had to take more risks in the face of Alcaraz's excellent movement, it also led to some unnecessary mistakes. Roddick suggested that Sinner needed to defend his second serve better, such as changing lines more on the first cricket, in order to limit Alcaraz's creativity; At the same time, Sinner should also have a better performance in the second return, which was originally his strength, and needs to regain his form.
