The air of great tennis is once again breathing at the Foro Italico, where the Internazionali d’Italia is back to shine with the most anticipated players on the ATP circuit. Among them, Carlos Alcaraz did not hide his excitement to see Jannik Sinner back on court, after a three-month-long absence caused by the notorious Clostebol case. During the eve press conference, the Spanish world number 3 wanted to dedicate sincere and warm words to his Italian rival, emphasizing how Sinner’s return is positive news for the whole tennis environment.
“This is great. Honestly, I’m really happy to have him back. It has been three months. Obviously it has been difficult for him and I am sure it has been a very long time” Alcaraz said. “I think there was no better place to come back to than here, to his home in Rome.”
The mutual respect between the two talents is now well known and represents one of the most compelling rivalries in contemporary tennis. Alcaraz admitted that although they are in different halves of the scoreboard, he hopes to cross Sinner in the final. A wish that could materialize and would promise a top-level spectacle for fans.
“It’s great for me, for tennis, for the fans. To see him come back, to see him with his team again, to feel his energy – all that is special. I think I will enjoy watching him play again”, added the Iberian champion.
The possible resumption of the Alcaraz-Sinner dualism on the Roman red will ignite public enthusiasm and fuel anticipation for a challenge that could write another memorable page of the 2025 season.
