Alcaraz was delighted to pay tribute to the world number 1: "I'd like to start with Jannik (Sinner). What can I say about you?

You're having an incredible year. You deserve it, with your team and the work you do every day. I saw you work when I came to the club.

You're really very humble. Throughout your career and this year, I'd like to congratulate you and your team on your excellent work and the tennis you play.

For me, what's even more important is that you and the people around you are great people. I respect you a lot as a player, but even more as a person."
