Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Open to Pairing in Doubles Action

When asked about the chance to pair up with Carlos Alcaraz in doubles action, Jannik Sinner admitted that it would be fun if they shared the court differently by being on the same side.

Sinner added that pairing up for one tournament would be great, and he would talk about it to the Spaniard to make it happen either in 2026 or the following year.

“I think it would be fun at least one time to share the court in different ways, on the same side. Of course, the schedule, and we are so focused on singles that it’s very difficult because if then you go deep in singles, and then you have to play doubles, you don’t have the right recovery.

“But for one tournament, I think it’s great to do it, and we’re going to talk about it maybe this year at a certain time where we feel like, or next year,” Jannik Sinner said on the eve of their exhibition match.
