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.”
