Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner’s first tournament of the 2026 season will be Hyundai Super Card Match, an exhibition event in South Korea, on Saturday, January 10. The tour’s most dominant two players opted to forego competing in traditional ATP tournaments prior to the start of the Australian Open to participate here.
Alcaraz and Sinner have won the past eight Majors. The last three Major finals were also contested between them. Should they reach the final Down Under this year, then they would became the third pair in history to contest four consecutive Major finals against each other.
The Williams sisters were the first to do so between the French Open 2002 and the Australian Open 2003, followed by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal from Wimbledon 2011 to the French Open 2012.
Nadal and Roger Federer headlined the 2006 edition of the Hyundai Super Card Match. Djokovic, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams have also starred in this exhibition event over the years.
Alcaraz and Sinner’s rivalry heated up in 2025. The two crossed paths on six occasions, and every time they met, a trophy was on the line. Alcaraz emerged victorious four times, including in the French Open and US Open finals, while Sinner won their duels at Wimbledon and the ATP Finals.
Even though this will be an exhibition event, the demand to see another showdown between Alcaraz and Sinner remains high. On that note, here’s everything to know about their upcoming contest:
