During a news conference, Sinner was questioned by a journalist over his developing rivalry with Alcaraz. Sinner stated that although they don’t communicate frequently off the court, they still appreciate each other for their skills on the court.
Sinner expressed his thoughts about it and said: “When we play against, it’s a very good matchup, and we both try our best. We have a lot of respect for each other and, obviously, off the court, we don’t speak that much because he has his things and I have my things.”
He further said: “He’s a player who can show so many things and he has a lot of emotions. He shows a really good fighting spirit and everyone is different. No, I’m not showing so many emotions on the court but it works as well on my side.”
