The former seven-time Grand Slam champion from Sweden, Mats Wilander, answered in L'Equipe (France): "Alcaraz has shown that he doesn't need to play his best to win. He will be able to win more Grand Slams thanks to his attacking style and courage in important moments. The outcome of the match always depends on his form. Sinner is world number one, but Alcaraz is the real deal."

In the Roland Garros 2024 semi-finals, Alcaraz defeated Sinner after a tense 5-set match. In their head-to-head, Alcaraz has won 5 and lost 4 against Sinner. This season, Alcaraz had beaten Sinner at Indian Wells before the two players clashed at Roland Garros.
On the ATP men's tennis rankings, Jannik Sinner is currently leading while Carlos Alcaraz is in second place. These two are considered top contenders for the Wimbledon title, to be held in the United Kingdom from July 1 to July 14.
After a week of rest, Alcaraz will head to London, England to compete in the Queen's Club tournament. This is where the world number two player claimed his first grass court title in 2023, and the Spanish star is determined to defend his championship title.
