Carlos Alcaraz's younger brother Jaime is definitely a Jannik Sinner admirer as tennis fans dug up a post from 2023 when the Spanish tennis star's younger brother brutally responded to a troll's attempt to mock the Italian.
Two years ago, Jaime was attending Wimbledon when he stumbled upon Sinner. After taking a selfie with the current four-time Grand Slam champion, Jaime - who was 12 at the time - uploaded to his Instagram. While there wasn't anything surprising in the younger Alcaraz asking the Italian tennis star for a selfie and later sharing it on social media, one person wasn't impressed.
"Jaime, you can't be happy with this clown @janniksin. Seriously enjoying and eating strawberries with cream," a troll wrote in the comment section of Jaime's post.

The younger Alcaraz clapped back brutally: "What number in the world are you? And Sinner?"
Alcaraz and Sinner have a good relationship despite the intense rivalry
The Alcaraz and Sinner rivalry is well-established as the best and biggest in the game right now. Only this year, they clashed against each other six times, and all of those meetings were title matches. The world No. 1 triumphed in four (Rome, French Open, Cincinnati, US Open), while the Italian won their Wimbledon and ATP Finals meetings. Overall, the 22-year-old Spaniard leads their head-to-head 10-6.

While they have a major rivalry going on, there isn't anything tense about the 22-year-old Spaniard and the 24-year-old Italian off the court.
"It's a bit different with Carlos because of on-court reasons. We have a very good relationship or rivalry, call it whatever. I feel like we can talk about everything, and I think it's great. We are good friends off the court. We do respect each other in a very healthy way. Also, our teams get along very well. I think it's a good harmony," Sinner explained at the ATP Finals when asked if it was true that he and Alcaraz had a good relationship.
