A fascinating statistic comparing Carlos Alcaraz with Jannik Sinner may expose an important factor in this year’s Grand Slams.

Alcaraz has started the campaign with 13 consecutive victories and has already added two titles to his growing collection, reinforcing his status as the best player in the world.

Sinner’s start to the year has been more uneven. The Italian was defeated by Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semi-finals before suffering a surprising quarter-final loss to Jakub Mensik at the Qatar Open.

A statistic spotted by X user Swish Tennis highlights a striking contrast between the two young stars when matches extend deep into marathon territory.

According to the data, Alcaraz owns a remarkable 12-1 record in matches lasting longer than three hours and 50 minutes.

Sinner’s record in matches of the same length stands at 0-8, a stark difference that could prove significant during Grand Slam events where long five set contests are common.


If the 24-year-old Italian wants to remain challenging Alcaraz at the top of the ATP Tour, he will need to work on his physical and mental strength to improve that record.

Jannik Sinner shows positive signs with Indian Wells victory​

Sinner may already be building momentum at Indian Wells after a convincing start to the tournament.

The Italian opened his campaign with a straight sets victory over Grigor Dimitrov on Friday, delivering a composed performance from the baseline.

The win offers encouragement after his earlier setbacks this season and gives Sinner an opportunity to build confidence as the tournament progresses.
