About this episode
Why does Jannik Sinner feel inevitable—especially indoors?In this episode of Best of Three, Alvin Owusu is joined by Patrick Parr for a deep dive into what actually separates Sinner from the rest of the ATP field. This isn’t about forehands or backhands. It’s about skiing, pressure, stillness, and why tennis feels slow to him.We unpack:How Sinner’s elite skiing background shaped his movement, balance, and mental calmWhy indoor tennis removes chaos—and why that heavily favors SinnerThe difference between Sinner’s inward focus and Alcaraz’s crowd-fed chaosWhy long rallies don’t drain Sinner—they settle himHow other sports (soccer, basketball, squash, boxing) quietly shape elite tennis playersWhat it might take for the next generation to disrupt Sinner’s dominanceThis conversation goes beyond rankings and trophies. It’s about how athletes are built, not just trained—and why some players feel unshakeable once they lock in.🎧 Best of Three is a tennis podcast for fans who want to understand the game more deeply—from tactics to psychology to the weird paths that create greatness.Send a text
