Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner kicked off their 2026 season with an exhibition match in Incheon, South Korea, that earned each of them over 2 million euros—nearly the prize money awarded to the Australian Open champion.

The world No. 1 came out on top after two tightly contested sets (7-5, 7-6) in a match played in good spirits.

"I Hope to See You on Sunday"

Right after the match, Alcaraz gave a brief speech and expressed his desire to face Sinner in multiple finals this year:

"Jannik, we ended the season (2025) playing together, and we're starting this one together too. I hope this season will be as good as the last one. You deserve the best, I wish you the best, and as our teams say, I hope we'll meet again on Sunday."

I am surprised about relatively low attendance at Roland Garros which was the most popular slam 20+ years ago. I myself love it as well as really loving aus and us opens. I don't care about Wimbledon, sometimes maybe I can watch women's tennis. I hate Wimbledon's white dress code, I feel like I am watching junior tennis...I watched very few matches like Graf davenport final in 1999 the last time.....
