"What number are you in the world?": Brother of Carlos Alcaraz hits out after Sinner criticised by a fan
Tennis NewsTuesday, 11 July 2023 at 14:30
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are two of the eight players remaining in the men's draw at 2023 Wimbledon and after one fan levied criticism at the latter, he was put in his place by the brother of the Spaniard.
The 11-year-old who is a tennis player in the making and will aim to follow his older brother into the sport has been spotted in his box and practicing with him.
Recently, he posted a picture posing with Sinner which saw a comment disparaging the Italian calling him a 'clown'.
“Jaime you can't be happy with this clown Jannik. You seriously enjoy and eat the strawberries with cream,” the fan said in the Instagram comments as translated from Spanish.
He made a good point in response calling the troll a nobody in terms of tennis asking him for his ranking.
“What number are you in the world? and Sinner?” he responded.
It is not only the brother that is a fan of Sinner with Alcaraz praising his fellow Next Gen player previously saying they get on well off the court and practice together.
Sinner will be in action today facing Roman Safiullin, while Alcaraz has a day off and will play on Wednesday.
"We have a good relationship outside the court. You know, we wave to each other, we talk," the World No. 1 said previously.
"When we are off the court, we practice a few times together as well. He's a really nice guy."
