I\u2019ll say Sinner, because Alcaraz likes girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe might get distracted, he might party too much. That\u2019s my only thing, whereas Sinner will stay a bit locked in, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz though took no offence but suggested it may be a little hypocritical given who the statement was coming from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re funny comments, which coming from him, don\u2019t surprise me,\u201d the 22-year-old Alcaraz said. \u201cIt\u2019s no secret that Jannik always has fewer ups and downs than me. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve been working on. It has nothing to do with the nightlife world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kyrgios himself has not been an example of a model pro throughout his career and was most recently in the headlines afetr criticising the BBC for not picking him for their Wimbledon punditry team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate but it\u2019s probably their loss more than mine,\u201d he told The Guardian. \u201cI understand they\u2019ve got Chris Eubanks but he hasn\u2019t beaten the greatest of all time multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen someone\u2019s beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it\u2019s very strange you wouldn\u2019t want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>More Carlos Alcaraz news from Tennis365<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/news\/carlos-alcaraz-novak-djokovic-most-knowledge-of-tennis\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz issues Novak Djokovic \u2018knowledge\u2019 verdict as he offers insight into their relationship<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/carlos-alcaraz-beats-jan-lennard-struff-wimbledon-test\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz still facing key issue despite battling Wimbledon Round 3 victory<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz meanwhile is focusing on trying to win his third consecutive Wimbledon title.
