Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have accustomed us to images that had not always been seen in the world of tennis. The good vibes between the two top rackets in the world have not always been a constant in the tennis world. One of their recent examples was the joint training they did in Turin before the start of the ATP Finals. It's an image that has rarely been seen on the circuit before, further enhancing their great relationship.

Respect has always prevailed in tennis, and the friendships of many, such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, began in the final stretch of their careers, but never at such a young age as with the Spaniard and the Italian. This fact is also confirmed by Andy Murray, the Scot who was part of the Big-4 alongside Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. He was a thorn in the side for the three greatest tennis players in history. However, his hip injury greatly affected him, and he never managed to regain his level again.

Regarding the fact of training with your main rivals, it's something the Scottish player did on some occasions, but if there was someone he hardly ever trained with in his career, it was Roger Federer. This was confirmed by Murray himself in an interview on Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips podcast.

Andy Murray confesses that Roger Federer did not want to train with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic

"I trained with them, with Djokovic and Nadal. When I started, I also trained with Federer. But after a year or two, he stopped training with me. He never trained with Djokovic or Nadal, I think because he saw them as his competitors. I liked practicing with them simply because it gave me the opportunity to see where my game stood."

He would love to go out to dinner with his former rivals

"We never had dinner together, but I would like to do it in the future to spend more time together. Back then, I was in the company of family or friends. If things didn't go well, I wanted to have someone to complain to, and I wasn't going to do it with my biggest rivals."

He values the Olympic Games

"Many tennis players don't believe that tennis should be part of the Olympics because it's not considered the pinnacle. But Djokovic won the Olympic Games in Paris, and when you see how he reacted to winning compared to any of his Grand Slams, he was much more emotional. All the tennis players who have won Olympic gold medals, it's the most amazing thing, but many people don't think it should be part of it," says Andy Murray, who after nearly twenty years rubbing shoulders with Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, seeks to have a dinner with the three, possibly to reminisce those magical and unforgettable moments among them.
