Jack Sock has become the first person to express a contrary opinion to the good relationship shown between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The former world number eight stated on the 'Nothing Major Show' podcast that the friendship between them is driven by the fans: "I think tennis fans in general obviously loved the narrative of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and they are good friends, and I think now that they are retired and not around, people long for it so much that they are pushing this. In every tournament, I feel like every week now, you go to X and it's like, 'Oh, Carlos and Jannik, look at this interaction they had as they walked by the practice court'."
"Just because you shake someone's hand and smile at them doesn't mean you are very good friends. It might turn into that over the years, with the rivalry and all that, but I think right now it is being exaggerated much more than it actually is. I agree they are friends, but the narrative of them being very close to each other is being exaggerated," said the 2017 Paris Masters 1000 champion.
