Jannik Sinner Fires Back at Alexander Zverev Over Carlos Alcaraz Conspiracy

Published

on

Jannik Sinner has hit back at Alexander Zverev’s allegations that there is a conspiracy to help him and Carlos Alcaraz succeed.

Sinner is world number two and has claimed four Grand Slam titles so far in his tennis career.

The 24-year-old Italian has claimed two Australian Open titles, the US Open and Wimbledon so far, while he has also reached the final of the French Open.

Sinner is one of the two huge stars at the top of the tree in men’s tennis at the moment, with Spanish star Alcaraz the other, who is currently world number one.

Alcaraz has six Grand Slam crowns to his name having won the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open twice each.

The pair have met on the court on 15 occasions overall and been in Grand Slam finals three times this year.

Alcaraz came out on top at the French Open, before Sinner claimed victory at Wimbledon, with the Spaniard winning at the US Open.

With the duo being the two dominant forces in men’s tennis at this moment in time, Zverev has launched a remarkable attack on the sport’s tournament directors for allegedly favouring Alcaraz and Sinner by making the courts the same speed in a bid to help the pair.

Speaking at the Shanghai Masters in China, Zverev said: “I hate when it’s the same, to be honest.

“I think the tournament directors are going towards that direction because, obviously, they want Jannik and Carlos to do well every tournament and that’s what they prefer.

“Nowadays, you can play almost the same way on every surface. I don’t like it, I’m not a fan of it.

“I think tennis needs different game styles, tennis needs a little bit of variety and I think we’re lacking that right now.”

Sinner has now responded to the allegations made by Zverev and the Italian was genuinely baffled and lost for words at the suggestion as he made it clear he is purely focused on playing tennis and winning.

After being told Zverev’s comments by an interviewer, a bemused Sinner said: “Wow. I don’t know what to say on that one to be honest.

“It’s a question I don’t know. We don’t – or at least I don’t – make the course. I just want to play tennis to be honest and try to play as good as I can.”

In a separate interview via the Mirror US, Sinner said: “You know, me and Carlos, we don’t make the courts. It’s not our decision. We try to adapt ourself in every situation. I feel like still every week is a bit different.

“I’ve played some great tennis even when it was faster courts. But I’m not making the courts, you know, so I just try to adapt and play my best tennis I can, and that’s it.”

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.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
