Jannik Sinner and the Nick Kyrgios hit: Carlos Alcaraz doesn’t mince words

The statements of Nick Kyrgios, who spoke out on the on-court rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz predicting a better career for the’Alto Adige native and “reproaching” the Murcian with alleged distractions off the court that would prevent him from maintaining a consistent performance throughout the season, have definitely made noise.

Interviewed at a press conference at Wimbledon about the Australian&#8217s words, Carlos Alcaraz himself preferred not to hide, responding directly to the criticism: “They are funny comments, they do not surprise me knowing Nick– said the current world No. 2 -. It is no secret that Jannik has fewer ups and downs than I do, it is something I am working on, but it has nothing to do with the private sphere”.

Currently Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are separated at the ATP ranking level by 1,130 points, according to the latest update dated Monday, June 30, 2025. What will happen at Wimbledon could change the balance of the world ranking in no small way, although Sinner will retain the lead even after Wimbledon, arithmetically.

The two, who recently faced each other in the finals at both Rome and Roland Garros, with Alcaraz victorious at both the Foro Italico and on clay in the French capital, could meet at Wimbledon only in the final, as they are on opposite sides of the men’s draw. Alcaraz has won against Sinner 8 head-to-head (9 if you count a meeting at the Alicante Challenger in 2019), while for the South Tyrolean there are 4 wins against his friend-rival.
