In the first set, I think he served at 83% first serve. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe hardly dropped a point. He served nine aces against arguably the greatest returner our sport has ever seen. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat gives you such a good platform when you are holding serve comfortably to be so aggressive on his baseline game. It was an amazing performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner will be out for revenge on Alcaraz when the two meet in the final after the Spaniard thrashed him in the final of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/us-open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">US Open<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>What Sinner said about his serve against Novak Djokovic<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, this is something that the Italian has been desperately trying to improve since the US Open, when Alcaraz pretty much served him out of the final. <\/p>\n<p>Sinner is in a good place with his own service game, and he has shared that he\u2019s very happy with how his service game is playing right now. <\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe ball toss is a key. Also, not to give any perspective to my opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, the rhythm, we tried to work a lot on the toss and what is the right height. So we have worked a lot in the past month. Serving for hours and hours, but if this is the result, I am very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, all eyes will be on another Sinner against Alcaraz affair and it will be fascinating to see who takes the latest instalment of this fierce rivalry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Jannik Sinner destroyed Novak Djokovic at the Six Kings Slam to set up&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":310954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[1479,1824,62,1464,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-310953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-jannik-sinner","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115390049872658465","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
