Will Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner team up for the Australian Open?

Both superstars remain open to the idea of pairing up for a Grand Slam double. 

“I think it would be fun at least one time to share the court in different ways, on the same side,” said Sinner in Incheon. 

“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."

Alcaraz echoed Sinner's sentiments and added: "At least once would be fun. I think I’m playing forehand and he’s playing backhand."

Alcaraz has struggled in Melbourne, with a quarterfinal finish his best performance in Down Under. So, he is ready to make the most of his stint in the far East. 

“I think coming here for two, three days, keep preparing, keep getting yourself ready for the new season, I think it was a great idea,” he said.

“I’m just really happy that I’m able to do this event, this match with Jannik.”
