Alcaraz and Bergs Mix It Up
Over the weekend, Belgian Zizou Bergs locked horns with Jannik Sinner. On Monday, the World No. 47 tested himself against the other half of the sport’s dynamic duo, engaging in a thrilling two-hour session with two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz.
The Spaniard arrives with a perfect 12-0 record on the season and has his sights set on joining Federer, Djokovic and Nadal as the only men this century to win three or more singles titles in the desert.
The 22-year-old stepped onto the court with cameras trailing and was greeted by a hearty round of applause. Sporting a LeBron James Lakers tank top, Alcaraz settled in at the baseline while Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari lingered nearby to sign autographs for fans.
Sunny skies, sunny disposition — good vibes all around.
Alcaraz, who fell to Jack Draper in last year’s semifinal, kept spectators fully engaged, while Bergs rose to the occasion against the seven-time major champion.
