World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz and World No.2 Jannik Sinner took home eight and six titles, respectively, this season. Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz (Image via X/Jannik Sinner HQ, Carlos Alcaraz 4K) Former French tennis player Nicolas Mahut alleged that Jannik Sinner is “obsessed” with Carlos Alcaraz when he talked about their rivalry. In their head-to-head matchups, the Italian trails 6-10, with his ATP Finals win being his second victory over the Spaniard in their last nine meetings. It was Alcaraz who gave Sinner probably the biggest heartbreak of his career when he came from two sets down and saved three championship points in the fourth set, before eventually denying the World No.2 his first French Open title. It was Alcaraz again who stopped him from defending the US Open title as well as the year-end No.1 title.
Alcaraz, when asked about Mahut’s claim, said the ‘obsession’ is not one-sided, as both want to improve their game to defeat each other. He has lost two or three matches in the last two years, and the vast majority have been with me. Jannik has to see and think about what he has to improve to beat the player he has not been able to beat more times. I have lost to more players, but my thinking is to try to improve and do things so that the next time we face each other, I will be a much better player.
Context from the source indicates a mutual drive between Alcaraz and Sinner, with Mahut’s claim referenced but reframed by Alcaraz as a shared obsession about improvement rather than a one-sided fixation.
