Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz: Great rivals on the court, but not afraid to open up to each other off it!
The No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings Sinner and No. 3 Alcaraz grilled each other with a selection of fun questions ahead of the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, where they are both chasing their maiden title at the prestigious season finale. The pair talked about which shot they would take from their rival and revealed the nickname they each had for the other in the locker room.
“I call you, like everybody, ‘Carrot’”, said the Spaniard, a reference to Sinner's penchant for eating the vegetable at changeovers. Meanwhile, the Italian’s nickname for Alcaraz was more related to the Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion’s approach to the game.
“I would say, which suits you well, is you are a ‘Beast’”, said Sinner. “’The Beast is coming’, and then you come in.”
All this was before Sinner and Alcaraz’s one-on-one entered ‘Savage Mode’. The questions got spicier, and perhaps the great rivals’ most honest assessment of each other’s skills (not to mention sense of fashion) came out! Watch the video below to see the full exchange in Turin:
