Sinner and Alcaraz have dominated men's tennis since the end of the "Big Three" era featuring Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. The duo has alternated at the top of the rankings since June last year, with Sinner overtaking Alcaraz as No. 1 after winning the Rolex Paris Masters on Sunday.
They have split the past eight men's Grand Slam singles titles. Sinner claimed the Australian Open and U.S. Open in 2024, and the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2025. Alcaraz won the French Open and Wimbledon in 2024, and the French Open and U.S. Open in 2025.
In head-to-head matchups, Alcaraz leads 10-5. He defeated Sinner en route to both of his major titles this year, though Sinner prevailed in the Wimbledon final.
Hyundai Card has a history of hosting tennis exhibitions in South Korea, including Maria Sharapova versus Venus Williams in 2005, Federer against Nadal in 2006, Federer versus Pete Sampras in 2007, and Djokovic against Andy Roddick in 2010. This event promises to excite Korean tennis fans with a clash of the new generation's stars.
