Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have been the absolute kings of men's tennis in 2025, and it seems that will continue to be the case in 2026. Pending Novak Djokovic's physical condition and the absence of other rivals who could challenge them, everything indicates that they will continue to dominate the scene.

And if seeing each other regularly in tournament finals isn't enough, in fact, this year they have played a total of six times, four for Carlos Alcaraz and two for Jannik Sinner, they will now face each other in an exhibition match. Specifically in South Korea on January 10, eight days before the Australian Open. So both spoke about this match and their great rivalry in an interview with Tennis Korea.

Looking forward to playing in front of the Korean audience

SINNER: "This match is a great opportunity not only for me but also for Carlos. The simple fact of being able to play tennis in front of the Korean audience is incredibly special. Another big reason is that I can regain my rhythm at least once before the Australian Open. Regaining the rhythm and the feeling of the game on the court helps me a lot in my season preparation. Considering all these factors, I gladly accepted this invitation."

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner talk about their tennis rivalry

ALCARAZ: "This comparison is a real honor for me as a player. I think it means a lot that tennis fans feel the same when watching our matches. Rivalries in sports are a powerful element that fuels fans' interest, and I was also very inspired by the rivalry between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer during my childhood. Jannik and I have already faced each other on many big stages and played intense matches. We have faced each other in several Grand Slam finals, and I believe we strengthen each other. With a long career ahead, I hope we can continue this positive rivalry that will help us grow together."

SINNER: "Rivalries are a fundamental part of our sport. In their time, there were great rivalries between Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray, and that trend has continued for generations. Rivalries have always existed throughout the history of tennis, and I believe we play a key role in the appeal of our sport. That's why I'm glad to know that I am developing that kind of relationship with Carlos. Rivalries have a special meaning for both fans and players. These elements make tennis more exciting, and I am happy to be part of it."

Alcaraz finds no weaknesses in Sinner's game

ALCARAZ: "Jannik and I have been on the circuit since we were young and know each other's game perfectly. There is hardly anything to hide on the court. Jannik is a player with virtually no weaknesses. He is powerful in attack, and his defense is incredibly quick and stable. He completely dominated the 2025 season, winning two Grand Slams, the ATP Finals, and staying in contention for the world number 1 until the end."

"Playing well against him is not enough. You have to maintain concentration throughout the match, and there is no room for complacency. He is a player you have to give 100% from the first point to the last to have a chance of winning."

The challenge Sinner faces playing against Alcaraz

SINNER: "He is one of the best players on the current circuit, perhaps even the best. Playing against him is always a challenge but also a lot of fun. Each match has a completely different story and pace, which makes it even more exciting. He is incredibly fast, making it difficult to outplay him at any point on the court."

"Moreover, he is very strong mentally, playing each point as if it were the last. These are the biggest challenges I face whenever I play against him," says a Jannik Sinner who, along with Carlos Alcaraz, is expected to dominate world tennis for many years.
