Carlos Alcaras (22) of Spain and Janik Sinner (23) of Italy. What will be their counterparts who have emerged as the biggest rivals in the ATP Tour since the "Big Three"?

With six wins and four losses, Alcaras is slightly ahead. If they face each other again, it is expected to be a close match. World No. 1 Sinner returns to the tournament this week after a three-month doping penalty, drawing attention to when the two will face off. 카지노사이트

Ranked third in the world, Alcaras was seeded third in the "2025 Internazionali BNL d'Italia" (ATP Masters 1000 & WTA 1000), which began at the Po Italico (Claycourt) in Rome, Italy on the 7th. Sinner is the No. 1 seed.
However, Alcaras, who skipped the first round to BYE, welcomed Sinner's return at an official press conference ahead of the round of 64 against world No. 131 Doosan Rayovic (34, Serbia).

"That's great. I'm really happy to have Sinner around again. It's been three months. Obviously it's been tough for him, and I'm sure it's been very long. I don't think there's anywhere better to come back than here in Rome, at his home."

"We are on the other side of Draw. I look forward to meeting him in the final. It will be fun to see him play again, to see him play again. I think for people it is a great thing."

Alcaras missed the Madrid Open (ATP Masters 1000) over the past two weeks because of a thigh adductor injury, but he also expressed confidence in his condition.

"I'm really excited to be here in Rome. It's my second time playing here, so I'm excited. The practice so far has been great, I'm in good shape. I'm 100 percent ready to start the tournament. So I can't wait for tomorrow."

Alcaras was thrilled to win the ATP Masters 1000 for the first time in 13 months at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters on April 13.

However, he lost 0-2 (6-7<6>, 2-6) to his best friend Holger Lune of Denmark in the final of the ATP 500 held the following week, failing to win the title for two consecutive weeks. At that time, he felt abnormalities in his thigh muscles, which hindered his performance.

Sinner will play his first match in more than four months after winning his second consecutive gold medal in the men's singles final at the Australian Open in January by beating Alexander Zverev (6-3, 7-6 <4>, 6-3). Mariano Navone (24) of Argentina, who is ranked 99th in the world, will play in the second round.

Alcaras and Sinner back on the court. Can the final between the two be done this time?
