dominated the landscape of tennis for over two years by now, but they still get annoyed at the sport they rarely lose at.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner and Alcaraz have shared the last nine Grand Slam titles, dating back to the 2023 US Open, when Novak Djokovic lifted the title at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their dominance in the sport, the best two players in the world still have little things that irk them during their matches.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bleacherreport\/video\/7641985431176858910?lang=en-GB\" target=\"_blank\">Bleacher Report<\/a> asked several top tennis stars what their biggest \u2018pet peeves\u2019 in tennis were and the best two players on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> responded.<\/p>\n<h2>More ATP Tour news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/rafael-nadal-says-theres-one-positive-for-carlos-alcarazs-current-wrist-injury\">Rafael Nadal says

rhythm at French Open<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For World No. 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a>, it simply came down to playing in a certain type of weather. \u201cPlaying tennis when it\u2019s very windy,\u201d explained the Italian.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his pet peeve of playing in windy conditions, Sinner has, unsurprisingly, never truly struggled when wind speeds have reached great force.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Sinner defeated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/monte-carlo-masters\">Monte Carlo Masters<\/a> final in difficult windy conditions, which earned him his first title at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz, meanwhile, picked a pet peeve that many of his fans would not be surprised by. \u201cThe clock, the time,\u201d revealed the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>The World No. 2 is often in conversation with umpires about the shot clock, which usually results in the Spaniard being penalised during matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis players\u2019 \u2018pet peeves\u2019<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ben Shelton \u2013 When a player

during their semi-final match at the Italian Open.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a> believed Sinner was taking a medical time-out for cramping, which is not allowed under the rules of the ATP Tour. After the match, however, the Russian star suggested that rule should be changed to cancel any confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf medical would be allowed for cramps, there would be no problem, so this is a solution,\u201d Medvedev said in his post-match press conference in Rome.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner share what they hate the most about tennis Liam McMillen 21 May 2026 11:00 AM Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz might have dominated the landscape of tennis for over two years by now, but they still get annoyed at the sport they rarely lose at.
