Jannik Sinner failed to win another title this season. Facing Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the ATP 500 in Beijing, the world number 1 came close, but finally lost after more than 3 hours of battle (6-7, 6-4, 7-6).

Asked in the press conference about this already promising rivalry, the Transalpine explained: "It's always great to meet him because we push each other to the limit.

Matches like this help me to see what I need to improve. It's not just with him, it's with other players too.

It's good to share the pitch with him. I think the fans appreciate our rivalry too. The matches are generally long, very physical, with many turning points for each of us.

I feel privileged and honored to share the field with him. We both tried to win today (Wednesday) and we were very focused.

We behave well on the pitch and that's also something that always helps to make our matches so interesting."
