5 min readNew DelhiMar 30, 2026 07:01 PM IST The competitive balance in the most important rivalry of present-day men’s tennis has been off-kilter over the past year. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have separated themselves from the chasing pack, but the former has separated himself from the latter, too. With six wins out of eight completed matches against him, Alcaraz has had the Italian’s number. With significant improvements in his game over the last six months, he started 2026 by storming to the Australian Open title and becoming the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam. If the biggest events in the sport started to feel a bit like the ‘Alcaraz show,’ his rival spent all of March reminding the world why that may not be the case. He may not have got his revenge on Alcaraz – the duo are, surprisingly, yet to face each other this year – but with his routine 6-4, 6-4 demolition of Jiri Lehecka in the Miami Open final on Sunday, Sinner capped off an imperious month …

It was Indias renowned actor Kabir Bedi, talking to the team in Italian. Gambino recalled how when he asked around if everyday Italians knew the great ‘Tendu luca’ (Sachin Tendulkar) he was met with a constant response – in Italy they only knew Kabir Bedi. Bedi had famously starred in an Italian 1976 miniseries called ‘Sandokan’ about a rebelling pirate fighting against British colonialism. Gambino recalled, “In Italy they only know you. The Malaysian Tiger (main character) Kabir Bedi.” Gambino recalled how 50 years ago, people would laugh at him when they heard he played cricket. “I would’ve never imagined this moment. But now we are going right back to Kolkata to shoot down England. We want to be in semis,” he said in an official video released by the Italian cricket team on Instagram.  ALSO …
