«I didn’t talk to him but it is normal that he feels disappointed because someone has not spoken to him. I have a good relationship off the pitch but we are not so close ». Carlos Alcaraz thus replied in an interview reported by the Spanish media when they asked him if he heard Jannik Sinner during the three months of disqualification of Italian. The journalists point out that Sinner told themselves “sorry” for not having received the support of some tennis players on the circuit, not necessarily referring to the Spaniard: “In the end everyone looks to himself – said Alcaraz – There will be people who write or want to be behind him. I have not spoken with Sinner but in the end we are in a circuit: we can get along well, good or bad”.
“It is complicated when you fight for those places, when you are head -to -head – he explained – but I have a great respect for him, for what he did after three months and I am very happy with his return”.
