Top 2 players in men's tennis set for Korea clash

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the two best players in men's tennis today who have been trading Grand Slam titles, will square off in an exhibition match in South Korea this weekend, a potential preview of the final in the year's first major later this month. Hyundai Card will pit the top-ranked Alcaraz against world No. 2 Sinner in its latest "Super Match" at Inspire Arena in Incheon, just west of Seoul, at 4 p.m. Saturday. This will be the first appearance in South Korea for both players and will serve as a tuneup for the Jan. 18-Feb. 1 Australian Open, the first Grand Slam event of the year. Alcaraz, the 22-year-old from Spain, already has six Grand Slam singles titles to his credit, including the French Open and Wimbledon victories in 2024 and the French Open and the U.S. Open triumphs in 2025. He plays an aggressive all-court game, using his speed and athleticism. Sinner, the 24-year-old Italian, has four Grand Slam singles championships, all of them from the last two years. And in both years, Sinner captured the majors that Alcaraz did not win -- the Australian Open and the U.S.
