After Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios said Jannik Sinner will have a better career than Carlos Alcaraz because Alcaraz "likes girls" and "might get distracted", Alcaraz responded, "They are funny comments, which, coming from him, don't surprise me." The 22-year-old added, "It's no secret that Jannik always has fewer ups and downs than me. It's something I've been working on."
