Jannik Sinner responded calmly to João Fonseca's description of him as a 'robot' during the Miami Open. The Italian world number one acknowledged the Brazilian's assessment after Fonseca compared him to Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner praised Fonseca's game and wished him well.
João Fonseca, after facing Jannik Sinner at Indian Wells the previous week and then Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open, compared the two players' styles. Fonseca described Sinner as 'more like a robot that just kills the ball and does everything perfect,' while praising Alcaraz for his broader arsenal, including topspin, net play, and rhythm disruption. 'Carlos, he can do everything... It’s more difficult to understand the game,' Fonseca said, noting Alcaraz's unpredictability keeps opponents guessing with serves, volleys, and plus-one shots. Alcaraz, in turn, complimented Fonseca: 'It feels like he can make a winner from everywhere. And that’s impressive.'
