It could become the greatest rivalry in tennis," says Tiley about Sinner and Alcaraz
Craig Tiley, the Australian Open tournament director, spoke about the rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
During the tournament's presentation evening, he stated: "We are witnessing the birth of what could be the greatest rivalry tennis has ever seen.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz push each other to extraordinary levels, to new heights in every competition; their contrasting styles lead to electrifying matches and they both fight until the final point. This rivalry could define the sport for years to come.
If Jannik wins again, he will join Novak in the elite club. That's the level he's playing at. But Carlos is at that level. He is world number one, he's aiming for his first Australian Open title and, with it, a career Grand Slam. That's a huge source of motivation.
