Australian Open 2025: Alcaraz reaping rewards of rivalry with Sinner

The Hindu  

Four-times Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz said having a rival like world number one Jannik Sinner was good for his game as it pushes him to be at his best every time he walks on court. Alcaraz won the French Open and Wimbledon titles last year while Sinner claimed the Australian Open and U.S. Open trophies as the pair heralded a new era for the men’s game by shutting out 24-times Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
