Carlos Alcaraz showers Jannik Sinner with praise after falling to the Italian in the grand final of the Six Kings Slam 2024. The Spaniard leaves with a bittersweet taste of having lost in the ultimate battle, but grateful for the experience in an event where he has been able to elevate his rivalry with the young Italian, the current world number one, to a different level.

The final at the Six Kings Slam 2024

"I wanted it to end in the best way, but I have enjoyed every second here. I will continue training and working to be there, I am sure Jannik will also keep being there. It has been a very close match, I had opportunities to win the game. Every time I face Jannik, we play a high-quality tennis match. Our matches are decided by small details. I probably should have played more aggressively and not wait for his mistakes, I would say that has been my mistake. When you play against Jannik, you have to play at 100%, I try to hit as hard as I can, super aggressively. In every practice, I think about it, rush to the net as soon as I can, play great shots, and on the serve, an aspect I work on every day."

His rivalry with Jannik, do you enjoy facing the Italian?

"Sometimes yes, other times no. All our matches are very tough, they are always two very hard sets or three/five sets. They are always very close encounters, he pushes me to the limit. I know I have to bring out my best tennis if I want to beat him. As a tennis player, I love these kinds of battles, but sometimes I prefer it to be easier. He makes me a better player," said the Spaniard to the microphones after the match. "I hope this rivalry improves over the years. I want to say that I am very grateful to have him on the circuit, thanks to him I push myself to my limits to improve, giving my 100% every day. It is always a pleasure to share the court with him, although sometimes it is difficult to enjoy."
