I don't think I'm putting pressure on Sinner," says Alcaraz on the world number one spot
The battle for the world number one ranking between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is playing out at the US Open. The Italian arrives in New York with a title to defend, while Alcaraz was eliminated in the second round last year.
However, the Spaniard claims there is no pressure on Sinner's shoulders regarding this matter. He states: "Honestly, I don't think I'm putting pressure on him. I'm convinced he will get past the first round.
I try not to think too much about the top ranking. I'll just try to go as far as possible in this tournament, play my best tennis, and we'll see.
The best player of this tournament will finish first, so I don't think it puts pressure on him.
