Carlos to the Spanish media: “I understand that it is disappointed by those who have not shown themselves. I respect it, but I can’t be a friend of who I want to beat”
Friends? Rivals. The fairy tale of the boys who together will make their way to the top of the tour to open the Big Three post is over. Jannik who trains in the 2023 winter preparation in Alicante together with Carlos, laughter, smiles and pats on the shoulders. The photos at the Ecdemia Equelite for the inauguration of the field dedicated to the Spaniard. Congratulations and beautiful mutual words to the limit of bromance. Enough. Now it’s serious.
No more comrades, now only rivals. With mutual esteem and respect, certainly, but it is no longer necessary to feed the fable of the friendly. Tomorrow at the Foro Italico (not before 5pm) it will be a real battle, with the Spaniard who craves to crash Jannik once again, and in front of the home audience. With Sinner who will try to remove a little sand from the shoes after the bitterness swallowed in the last three months and also in the previous months, since the clostebol case exploded and felt “abandoned” by those who believed a friend. Regulating the accounts on the pitch is always the best thing. And if Sinner was held number 1 in the world much more than Alcaraz, already sure to exceed 52 weeks while Carlos stopped at 36, the Spanish with a dazzling talent is ahead in the Slam share (4-3) and in the previous ones, 6-4.
SILENCE

The last victory, in chronological order, is by Jannik who conquered the multimilionary jackpot of the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia just overcoming Carlos in the final. But the last defeat of the number 1 in the world, on October 2, 2024 he suffered him from Spanish. Now we start again, immediately putting things in the clear. Jannik had amazed that in his period out of the games some who thought friends have not made alive among them, now it is official, there is also Carlos and perhaps his name is the name that makes the most noise. Cards on the table, Alcaraz was very Franco after reaching the final: “If I felt with Sinner in the three months outside? No. In the end, each of us looks to himself. I didn’t talk to him during the disqualification”. He explained to the Spanish press, explaining that now it is no longer time to be friends, but only rivals: “We are part of a circuit, we have a good relationship but we are not so close, I cannot have a close friendship with a person I want to beat. We are rivals but I am happy that it has returned to the field and is well
