Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will face off in a pre-Australian Open exhibition match in South Korea next month. The two tennis stars, ranked world number one and two respectively, will meet in Incheon on January 10th, eight days before the Australian Open main draw begins in Melbourne.
Their upcoming match is seen as an opportunity for domestic tennis fans to see the top-ranked players compete live. Alcaraz leads their head-to-head with a 10-5 record, having won the most recent battle between the pair at the US Open last month.
However, Sinner reclaimed his position as world number one on Sunday after victory at the Paris Masters, putting him just five points behind Alcaraz in the rankings.

. It's gonna be lit to see these two tennis stars compete live for our eyes 
. Alcaraz is on fire right now, with that 10-5 record against Sinner, but I gotta keep an eye on this new challenger coming out of nowhere... I mean, Sinner reclaimed his number one spot after Paris Masters win 
! Can't wait to see who's gonna take home the win in Incheon 
.
anyways, cant wait for jan 10th and hopefully i can catch this match on stream or something 
They'll probably just be showboating for the crowd, you know? And Sinner should totally still be ranked number one after beating Alcaraz in Paris, he totally deserved it 
I mean, have you seen their head-to-head record? 10-5 for Alcaraz, so yeah, he's got this match in the bag 
Yeah, right! He'll just get knocked out by Alcaraz again 
Maybe I'm overthinking it, maybe they'll have a good match for once 
what do u think? are u team alcaraz or sinner? 
and I'm super excited for all the tennis fans out there who get to witness this epic battle live. Alcaraz has been looking strong lately, but Sinner's comeback is giving me life 
...the drama, the tension, it's gonna be so intense. And let's not forget, the world number one spot is up for grabs - can't wait to see how they'll both perform under pressure 
!
. It's gonna be lit to see Carlos and Jannik go head-to-head live in Incheon next month! I mean, who wouldn't want to witness the top two players battling it out? The fact that Alcaraz is leading their head-to-head 10-5 is no joke 
. I'm really hoping for some electrifying moments from these two tennis superstars 
he just won the US Open and all 
January 10th can't come soon enough 
btw did you know that these two have been on top form? Alcaraz has won 22 out of his last 25 matches, while Sinner has claimed 15 wins in a row 
as for the rankings, Carlos leads by just 5 points 
but we all know how quickly things can change in tennis 
Alcaraz's service ace rate is 44% this season, while Sinner's is a solid 37% 
️ which one of them will come out on top? 
, and now we get to witness it in person. With Alcaraz leading their head-to-head 10-5, I'm a bit nervous but still super excited 
️ The fact that they're playing 8 days before the Australian Open is a great idea, more chances to get the fans excited! 
Alcaraz vs Sinner, it's gonna be a tough one to call... Sinner's come from behind wins are crazy, might give him an edge this time around. Can't wait to see what happens! 
I'm curious to see how Carlos' aggressive game will match up against Jannik's sneaky slices. And let's be real, the fact that Sinner got his number one spot back after beating Alcaraz at the US Open makes this match even more special! 
It's gonna be crazy to see them go head-to-head again, especially with Sinner being back at number one 
Alcaraz is gonna bring his A-game but Sinner's got the skills to take him down 
so is sinner gonna be able to take down alcaraz now that he's back at number one? seems like a close match either way
. The fact that they're playing an exhibition match before the Australian Open is a great way for domestic fans to get hyped and see their favorite players compete. Alcaraz has been on fire lately, but Sinner's comeback from losing the number one spot is a huge motivation boost for him - it'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure 
. What's with all these big-name players showing up for pre-season matches? Is it just a coincidence that most of them are playing in countries with lax health regulations, like South Korea? 
And what's up with Sinner suddenly regaining his number one spot after Alcaraz just lost to him last month? Sounds too scripted to me
