Despite their battles on court, the pair have maintained a good relationship – shown when Sinner praised his opponent after his 2025 Wimbledon victory,
“Carlos, thank you for the player you are,” the 24-year-old said.
“It is so difficult to play you but we have a great relationship off the court.
“Keep going, keep pushing, you are going to hold this trophy many times – you already have twice.”
Alcaraz has often spoken about how his rivalry with Sinner pushes him to be better.
Sinner was the first player to beat Alcaraz in a Grand Slam final. Alcaraz was the first to beat Sinner in the same setting.
“I think it’s great for us and for tennis. Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high,” Alcaraz said.
“I don’t see any player playing against each other having the level that we are playing when we face each other.”
