Carlos Alcaraz On Jannik Sinner: ‘Our Rivalry Is Getting Better…’
Carlos Alcaraz prepares for a revamped Jannik Sinner after his US Open win. Both rivals eye more Grand Slam titles as Alcaraz debuts at the Japan Open.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz said on Wednesday that he must prepare for a new and improved Jannik Sinner after defeating his great rival in the US Open final.
Italy’s Sinner admitted he needed to revamp his “predictable” game after losing to Alcaraz in New York earlier this month, marking the latest in a series of recent defeats to his Spanish adversary.
Alcaraz is competing at the Japan Open in Tokyo this week, while Sinner will make his first appearance since the US Open at the China Open in Beijing.
Alcaraz noted that he must be ready for a different Sinner the next time they meet on the court.
“I know he’s going to change something from the last match,” said Alcaraz.
“It’s the same thing that I did when I lost to him a couple of times, I tried to be a better player the next time I was going to face him.
“I have to be focused and I have to be ready for that change,” he added.
Alcaraz and Sinner have dominated men’s tennis this season, contesting all four Grand Slam finals and winning two each.
Alcaraz is only 22, and Sinner is just two years older, and both appear set to monopolise the sport’s top titles for years to come.
“Our rivalry is getting better, which for me and for tennis I would say is great,” said Alcaraz.
“We will see in the future how many times I’m going to play against him and which circumstances we will play.
“Right now, it’s going great.”
Alcaraz At Japan Open
Alcaraz heads to Tokyo following a surprise loss to American world number five Taylor Fritz at the Laver Cup in San Francisco last week.
Fritz is the number two seed in Tokyo, where Denmark’s Holger Rune, Norway’s Casper Ruud, and the Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac will also compete.
“I’m really excited about playing in different places, in different stadiums, and feel the energy from the Japanese people,” he said.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
