A couple of hours after Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in the ATP Beijing final, they both boarded the same private plane heading to Shanghai to compete in the Masters 1000. Many were surprised, but the Spaniard believes that this sport allows you to do these kinds of things unlike other sports, setting aside rivalry on the court and getting along wonderfully. This is how he explained it to TennisTv: "It's something strange, but I think in tennis it's different than in other sports. We are fighting against each other, a very tight 3-hour match, he could have won but in the end, I took the victory. And two hours later, we are on the same plane, laughing, joking, talking about life, and acting as if nothing had happened before. So probably in other sports, that would be impossible. In tennis, we have a good relationship off the court. Obviously when we are on the court, we want to win, defeat our opponent, but afterwards, we have a good relationship with everyone, so that's why we can do it."
