Tennis LIVE: Alcaraz and Sinner relationship claim amid Djokovic scene | Tennis | Sport

Boris Becker has explained that there’s been a substantial shift in the world of tennis as of late, as evidenced by the friendship between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Despite two of the world’s greatest players battling frequently on the court, the two have an impeccable bond and aren’t shy of being friendly with one another.

And it’s something that Becker didn’t see with his own rivals in his day. Speaking to Gazzetta Italy, he said: “In our time, we weren’t friends.

“That didn’t exist. Imagine me being friends with [John] McEnroe or [Ivan] Lendl…impossible. I got along well with Stefan Edberg, I respected him a lot, but it wasn’t like now.”
