THE SPORT SCAN – Rivals on good terms, the world No.1 and No.3 shared a private jet to travel from Beijing to Shanghai.
Throwing “cinderblocks” at each other on the court during a 3h20 match does not prevent you from maintaining a good relationship outside of it. The proof with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. After their epic duel on Wednesday in the final of the ATP 500 in Beijing, won by the Spaniard, the two men were expected a little further south of China to compete in the Masters 1000 in Shanghai. Ecological awareness or sincere friendship, the world No.1 and No.3 took the same plane.
Simone Vagnozzi, one of Jannik Sinner’s coaches, posted a photo of the interior of the private jet on her Instagram account. In the foreground are the Italian and the members of his staff. In the second, Juan-Carlos Ferrero and the team of Carlos Alcaraz who, with a smile on his face, brandishes two fingers in the shape of a “V”.
Last February, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic found themselves, by pure chance this time, on the same commercial plane bound for the United States. The eternal rivals were to compete in the Masters 1000 at Indian Wells.
