The whole tennis world is watching this duel

When the two best tennis teenagers in the world meet, a lot of hype is guaranteed. People quickly talk about the future of tennis or the beginning of a new rivalry that will shape the sport for years to come. This may be a bit exaggerated at times, but these phrases are 1000% true in the duel between Sinner and Alcaraz. Here is the young South Tyrolean, who has, among other things, two Grand Slam quarter-finals to his name, and there is the incredible Spaniard, who has already won two Masters XNUMX titles this season.

Based on the latest results, the man from Murcia, who only lost six games to Oscar Otte in the third round, is the favorite in the race. However, Sinner is not without a chance, that's what he was for Performance against John Isner was too convincing. Before the eagerly awaited match, the two opponents spoke highly of each other. “The game will be extremely difficult, especially from a physical point of view, because I expect a lot of long rallies,” said Sinner at the press conference. “I will approach the match calmly, give my all as always and have fun.” The man from Sexten also spoke about the relationship with Alcaraz, which was “excellent”. “We are friends, joke and speak a mix of Spanish and Italian. But of course each of us wants to win the match.” Alcaraz is ahead “Jannik plays incredible tennis, even here on grass,” says Alcaraz. The games against Sinner are always extremely difficult, but also exactly the ones he likes. “We are two of the youngest players in the main draw and probably the ones with the most talent. My relationship with Jannik is very good, we often trained together,” said the world number 7, who won the only duel at ATP level to date last year at the Masters in Paris with 7:6 and 7:5. Alcaraz – comparable to Sinner – has barely appeared on grass so far.

The youngest round of 2008 pairing since 16, when Kei Nishikori and Juan Martin Del Potro faced each other at the US Open in New York, will fight for a place in the quarterfinals on Center Court around 104 p.m. Novak Djokovic would most likely be waiting there, going into the match as the heavy favorite against the Dutch whiz kid Tim van Rijthoven (ATP XNUMX).
