The world sports scene was shocked today after a bomb declaration by Carlos Alcaraz who shocked the international fans and media. During a post-game press conference at the US Open 2025, the young Spanish phenomenon left everyone speechless with a very heavy phrase:“I don’t play against a drug addict”.
Alcaraz’s words immediately triggered a storm of controversy, triggering a series of questions about the possible rivalry that is developing between him and the Italian Jannik Sinner. The statement comes after an intense tournament, in which the two athletes have seen their duel grow on the ATP circuit, with Sinner who gained ground as one of the emerging stars of world tennis.
The context of the Alcaraz declaration is linked to a controversial episode that happened during the match between Sinner and another opponent, where unconfirmed items emerged concerning alleged incorrect behaviors by the Italian tennis player. Although no official accusation has been moved, Alcaraz’s words seem to allude to these suspicions. In particular, the Spanish champion threatened to withdraw from the tournament if Sinner had not been disqualified or if the rumors about his behavior had not been clarified.
Alcaraz, who has always shown an impeccable attitude on the field, said he felt compelled to protect the integrity of sport and did not want a player involved in alleged doping scandals to compete against him. His words fell like a bolt from the blue, causing a division between the fans and the media, who now ask for clarifications on the severity of the situation.
This heated controversy immediately attracted the attention of tennis fans all over the world, with many who lift from Alcaraz’s side, applauding his courage in defending the purity of tennis. Others, however, argue that such a declaration can damage the reputation of sport and create unnecessary tensions between the two young athletes.
The US Open 2025, which had started with great expectations, are now located at the center of a scandal that could have repercussions not only on the career of Alcaraz and Sinner, but on the entire ATP circuit. The managers of the tournament are taking the situation very seriously, with an imminent press conference that will try to clarify what happened and on the possible disciplinary actions against Sinner, if the accusations should prove to be founded.
The future of this conflict, however, remains uncertain. Alcaraz reiterated that he does not intend to take the field against Sinner until the situation is resolved. Now the ball passes to the US Open Committee, which will have to decide whether to intervene or let the drama continue to grow.
It remains to be seen how this story will evolve and if, in the end, the two tennis players will still find each other against each other on the largest stage of tennis. But one thing is certain: sport will no longer be the same after this shock declaration of Carlos Alcaraz.
