Not out of politeness. Not even empathy. But out of necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the three-month absence of his favorite \u201cenemy,\u201d Carlitos claimed titles in Rotterdam and Monte Carlo. Yet he also looked adrift, losing matches to Jiri Lehecka, Jack Draper and \u2013 most unexpectedly \u2013 34-year-old David Goffin, possibly carrying a cane in his tennis bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paradox is beautiful: a champion needs a worthy rival to remember he is one. Alcaraz doesn\u2019t thrive on rhythm \u2013 he thrives on inspiration. He approaches tennis like a Renaissance artist facing a marble block, waiting for the shape that awakens the Michelangelo within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And right now, Sinner is that perfect block. His most worthy adversary. His mirror.<br>The French Open begins in three weeks. And if Alcaraz ends up making history in Paris, it won\u2019t be despite Sinner. It will be thanks to him.<br><br><small>\u00a92025 \u201cPepe Offside\u201d &#8211; All Rights Reserved<br>Copyright \u00a9 2025 SportJournal.pictures \/ SalaStampa.eu, world press service<br>Guzzo Photos &amp; Graphic Publications \u2013 Registro Editori e Stampatori n. 1441 Torino, Italia<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It might sound odd, but the return of his greatest rival could be exactly what the Spanish prodigy needed to feel like himself again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[41],"class_list":["post-969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis-en","tag-english","entry","rows"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Alcaraz Smiles Because Sinner is Back - Sport Journal Pictures<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Got a Passion for Sport Action?
