Alcaraz congratulates Sinner on US Open triumph
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner split the four major titles in 2024.
Carlos Alcaraz quickly congratulated his rival Jannik Sinner on Sunday after the Italian defeated Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 for the US Open title.
“🏆You deserve it!🤝🏻” Alcaraz wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Enjoy the moment.”
Alcaraz and Sinner’s Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry has become a must-watch spectacle. The two superstars, aged 21 and 23, respectively, split the four Grand Slam tournament titles this season.
Alcaraz suffered a shock second-round defeat at the US Open to Botic van de Zandschulp, but followed along and shared his message for the Italian within minutes of the match ending.
