Alcaraz and Sinner Stage Seoul Exhibition as Australian Open Tune-Up

The Incheon exhibition is Alcaraz’s only tune-up before Melbourne after a December split with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Overview

  • First serve is set for 16:00 in Incheon (08:00 in Spain), with coverage on Movistar Plus+ and on Tennis Channel via Fubo in the United States.
  • Media citing La Gazzetta dello Sport report an appearance fee of about €2 million for the event.
  • Alcaraz arrived to large crowds in Seoul, per EFE, after an offseason in Murcia working with coach Samuel López following his separation from Ferrero.
  • Both players cast the match as pre‑Open preparation, with Alcaraz calling their rivalry “special” and saying they drive each other to improve.
  • Sinner and Alcaraz said playing doubles together at least once would be fun, while noting schedule constraints, and both plan to travel to Melbourne immediately after the exhibition.
