I'm not going to beat him every time," Alcaraz discusses his rivalry with Sinner
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz faced off for the first time in a Grand Slam final, but it likely won’t be the last.
During the press conference after his victory, the Spaniard spoke about their rivalry: "Every match I play against him is important.
This is the first time in a Grand Slam final, and I hope it won’t be the last because, as I’ve said many times, whenever we face each other, we push our level to the highest.
For the crowd and the fans, our matches are also important. If you want to win Grand Slams, you have to beat the best tennis players in the world.
I think it feels much better when you face them in the final, so this won’t be a turning point. I’m sure he’ll learn from this match and come back stronger next time.
Again, I’m not going to beat him every time. That’s obvious. I have to keep learning from my matches against him, and I hope to play more Grand Slam finals.
