Quality training by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the Ferrero Academy with Australia in the periphery
ATP
Carlos Alcaraz continues his preparation for the start of the season at the Ferrero Tennis Academy in Villena, where he has joined Jannik Sinner in an intense training session. The young world number two is looking to arrive in top form for the upcoming Australian Open after missing the previous edition due to injury.
The atmosphere at the academy has been one of camaraderie and competitiveness as Alcaraz and Sinner, not only rivals on the court but also friends, have shared their preparation for the upcoming Grand Slam. The Spaniard expressed his appreciation to Sinner for joining this joint training session that promises to strengthen his skills ahead of the challenging start of the season.
"Thank you Jannik for coming to train at the Ferrero Tennis Academy. Great morning and great session. Warming up for 2024," Alcaraz shared on his social networks, reflecting his enthusiasm and commitment to his preparation for the upcoming tennis year. Sinner, for his part, was also satisfied with the training day, highlighting the quality and focus during the joint practice.
Alcaraz's absence from the previous edition of the Australian Open due to injury was a setback in his meteoric rise on the professional circuit. However, his determination to return to full fitness and technique is evident in these intense training sessions with Sinner, which bodes well for an exciting start to the season for both talented players.
The collaboration between these two young talents of world tennis not only strengthens their individual preparation, but also highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect in a sport that is often characterized by intense rivalries on the court. They were due to play an exhibition but this is now not the case as Alcaraz instead will just head to Riyadh to face Novak Djokovic on December 27.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
