Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz: back-and-forth on the future

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who have been training together in Montreal, hope their rivalry will come close to that between Federer and Nadal

That between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz could be the rivalry of the future, and both young men know it. In an interview with Atptour’s microphones, the Murcia tennis player was very explicit: “Jannik and I have a good rivalry, and for sure this will push me to improve. I will become a better player because of him. I will push harder to improve and to beat him, and I think he thinks the same about me. We will stimulate each other, kind of like Djokovic, Nadal and Federer did when they were younger.”

An opinion confirmed by Sinner himself, “We are both young, but we play incredible tennis. Let’s see what will happen in the future. I sincerely hope so because when we face each other we get to play at our highest level. We have two different physiques: he got to the top physically before me because I have just completed my physical maturation.”
