Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are inseparable. The two top players in the world faced off in an exhibition match in Seoul this Saturday, January 10. The Spaniard won in two tight sets (7-5, 7-6) in front of the South Korean crowd.

Now, it's time for the Australian Open for Sinner and Alcaraz, which marks the first major goal of their season. Before a potential rematch in the final, they have taken the same flight to Australia.
