Australian Open > Carlos Alcaraz’s confession about Jannik Sinner: “When I see him winning titles, when I see him at the top of the rankings, it forces me to train even harder every day. And at the “practice, I think about the things I need to improve to play against him”

During his appearance at a press conference before the start of the Australian Open (January 12 to 26), Carlos Alcaraz explained that he was extremely motivated by the excellent results of his rival, Jannik Sinner.

“The good thing for me is that when I see him winning titles, when I see him at the top of the rankings, it forces me to train even harder every day. In training, I think about the things I need to improve to play against him. I think it’s a good thing for me, to have it, to have such a great rivalry so far, to give the best of myself every day. »

In the first round in Melbourne, where he will try to win the only Grand Slam missing from his already impressive record, the 21-year-old Spaniard will have to be wary of Alexander Shevchenko (currently 72^e world player).
