Carlos Alcaraz has said he “misses” his biggest rival, Jannik Sinner, with the Italian currently sidelined with a knee injury.
After splitting the four grand slams of 2025 between them many expected the pair to be equally dominant in 2026. But they have not met in a single major final as both have struggled with injury problems, and have only contested one match - the Monte Carlo final, which Sinner won.
