WELCOME, FRIENDS! TO THIS INTERESTING DUEL!
Carlos Alcaraz has made history on all three surfaces. The Spaniard won the Roland Garros title and became the youngest man to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces: clay, hard court, and grass.
Sinner and his admiration for Alcaraz:
“There are certain players you can quickly sense if they have something special, Carlos (Alcaraz) is one of them. From a very young age, when we played each other on the Challenger circuit, you could see how his ball sounded, how he moved, and everything else. You knew he was going to reach the top, without a doubt… for example, I wasn't so sure about myself,” says the Italian, who has always shown great admiration for the Murcian player.
Straight to the soul:
As rumors of a possible romance between tennis stars Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz continue to grow, Raducanu has attempted to clarify the situation.
“We're just good friends,” said Raducanu, 22, with a big smile during her pre-Wimbledon press conference on Saturday, June 28.
Speculation about Raducanu's relationship with Alcaraz, also 22, intensified after it was revealed that the two plan to compete together in the mixed doubles at the U.S. Open this summer.
Last week, Raducanu was asked about Alcaraz's suggestion that she “took her time” to give him an answer about playing together.

- First round: vs. Fabio Fognini 7-5 6-7(5) 7-5 2-6 6-1

Both players will meet for the first time on the men’s tour, with the winner on Wednesday taking a 1-0 lead in their head-to-head record.
Alcaraz begins the second round riding a 19-match winning streak, and the Spaniard, who has not lost to a player outside the top 100 since retiring against Thiago Monteiro in Rio last year and in a completed match since falling to Fabian Marozsan in May 2023, aims to extend his run of 12 consecutive victories over such opponents.
