Andy Rodick s In-depth Analysis: The Key to Basic Sina of Alcalas Rome

In the 2025 Italian Open final, Carlos Alcaras defeated Jennik Sina with a score of 7-6(5), 6-1, successfully winning his first Rome Masters championship. This is his four consecutive wins against Sina, with an advantage of 7-4 in the fight between the two sides. With this victory, the 22-year-old Alcalas gathered all three clay masters 1,000 championships, adding more confidence to his French Open defending title.

Former world number one Andy Roddick analyzed the game on the Tennis Channel, and he believed that both Alcalas and Sina were satisfied with their performance in the Italian Open. Rodick said that for Alcalas, if he was told early this week that he could win the game and beat Sina, the result would be perfect; for Sina, being able to play a great tennis ball in the game and then losing to the powerful Alcalas after a clean sheet. This game is an excellent opportunity for both of them to prepare for the game. The rich changes and diverse styles of play shown by Alcalas in the game made it difficult for Sina to adapt to his rhythm.

Rodick pointed out that Sina's reception and second serve are key aspects that need to be improved urgently.

Rodick analyzed that Sina had problems with the receiving position during the game, and the accuracy of the second-time extension was lacking. In addition, Sina chose to take risks to the sideline too much. Although he had to take more risks in the face of Alcalas' excellent movement ability, it also led to some unnecessary mistakes. Roddick suggested that Sina needs to better defend the second-shot, such as changing the line more in the first cricket, to limit Alcalas' creativity; at the same time, Sina should also have a better performance on the second-shot recoil, which was originally his advantage and needed to regain his form.
