Carlos Alcaraz has hit back at comments made by tennis rival Nick Kyrgios.

Alcaraz is currently defending his Wimbledon title having won the 2025 French Open earlier this year.

The Spaniard bested Andrey Rublev in a mouth-watering round of 16 clash on Sunday evening to make it 18 Wimbledon wins in a row as he continues his bid to win a three-peat at the All England Club.

Five-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz looks set to dominate the world of tennis for years to come having won five Grand Slams before turning 23.

He is currently engaged in a fiercely contested rivalry with Italy's Jannik Sinner, who he beat at Roland-Garros in the French Open final last month.

The pair have gone back and forth for some time now, drawing comparisons with the rivalries shared between tennis' fabled 'Big Four' of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.

Kyrgios was asked which player he felt would have the better career, and he opted to go with Sinner due to Alcaraz's exploits off the court.

"I’ll say Sinner, because Alcaraz likes girls," he said, in an interview with tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou.

"He might get distracted, he might party too much.

“That’s my only thing, whereas Sinner will stay a bit locked in, I think."

The comments were particularly surprising considering Alcaraz currently has five Grand Slams to his name compared with Sinner's three.

Alcaraz struck back though, suggesting that he found the comments funny.

"They’re funny comments, which coming from him doesn't surprise me," he responded.

"It’s no secret that Jannik has fewer ups and downs than me. It’s something I’ve been working on.

"It has nothing to do with the nightlife world."

Alcaraz has been open about his struggles off the court, admitting that tennis has been a source of anxiety and frustration for him during his Netflix documentary series, Carlos Alcaraz: My Way.

“Right now my biggest fear of all is ending up seeing tennis as an obligation," the Spaniard said.

"Sometimes I feel like I am enslaved to tennis and that causes anxiety, frustration, doubts.”

These tickets offer 'unparalleled views' of the court, so you won't miss out on any of the action.

As for resale tickets, you'll want to head over to StubHub and Viagogo.
