Sinner and Alcaraz to clash in January 2026 exhibition match in South Korea ahead of Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face off in an exhibition match on January 10, 2026, in Incheon, South Korea, ahead of the Australian Open. The event, part of the Hyundai Card Super Match, follows Sinner’s recent rise to world No. 1 after winning the Paris Masters, though Alcaraz is expected to reclaim the top spot when old points expire. The match will be the first live encounter between the two top players since their intense 2025 Grand Slam showdowns, where each won two majors. The outcome could influence momentum heading into the 2026 season.
