In a long interview with 'La Stampa', top coach Riccardo Piatti - who worked with Sinner until 2022 - analyzed this amazing rivalry in detail: "Carlos' top goal is the US Open: if the Spaniard were to triumph in New York, it would become very difficult for Jannik to finish the year as number 1.

Carlos Alcaraz recalled the Wimbledon final he lost to Jannik Sinner, a match where the Italian ended a five-match losing streak against the Spaniard. Alcaraz, 22, failed to defend the title he won in 2023 and 2024 and saw Sinner end his 20-match winning streak at the All England Club.
