Eight days before the Australian Open begins, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will play an exhibition match in South Korea.
The duo will compete in the Hyundai Card Super Match on January 10 in Incheon, while Melbourne’s main draw will begin on January 18 for the Australian Open main draw.
The two top-ranked players will compete for the first time, according to tournament organizers, for domestic tennis fans.
The pair, who met in three of their four Grand Slam finals in 2025, have jointly won nine of their past ten major titles.
After winning the Paris Masters on Sunday, Sinner reclaimed his position as the world’s number one from Alcaraz.
Before the ATP finals on November 9th, Sinner’s 6-4, 7-6, (7-4) victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime placed the Italian 250 points ahead of Alcaraz.
Alcaraz has ten victories in a row over Sinner, which is the pair’s only other total.
Before Sinner gained retribution at Wimbledon in July, the Spaniard won the French Open championship match in June.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will play an exhibition match in South Korea in January – just eight days before the start of the Australian Open.
The duo will meet in the Hyundai Card Super Match in Incheon on 10 January, with the Australian Open main draw getting under way in Melbourne on 18 January.
“For domestic tennis fans it will be the very first opportunity to see the two top-ranked players compete,” tournament organisers said.
The pair, who met in three of the four Grand Slam finals in 2025, have won nine of the past 10 major titles between them.
Sinner reclaimed his status as world number one from Alcaraz on Sunday following victory at the Paris Masters.
Sinner’s 6-4 7-6 (7-4) victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime lifted the Italian 250 points above Alcaraz in the rankings before the season-ending ATP finals on 9 November.
Alcaraz leads the pair’s head-to-head, with 10 victories to Sinner’s five.
The Spaniard came out on top in an epic French Open final in June, before Sinner gained revenge at Wimbledon in July.
Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers’ center, has received a $50, 000 (£38, 000) fine from the NBA for what it called a “lewd gesture” on the court.
When Embiid, 31, scored in Philadelphia’s 109-108 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday, he was fouled before making a chopping gesture to his groin.
Previously, Embiid has received fines for the gesture.
Embiid appeared to make the suggestion in a post on X, which also contained the NBA’s social media post detailing his sanction.
Since I’m not permitted to do it, he said, “Yall better start punishing the refs for doing the “lewd” and “blocking foul” gesture.”
Embiid, who was born in Cameroon, was not present for Sunday’s 129-105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets as he continues to recover from a knee injury that required surgery earlier this year.

Britney Spears has sparked concern after abruptly deleting her Instagram account. It appears as though her content is no longer visible, with a message instead reading “the profile may have been removed”.
The singer, 43, is a regular poster on the social media platform, but her family is said to have become concerned over her latest behaviour. She had appeared to be dancing with bruises on her arms in a video over the past few weeks.
The mother of her two children, Jayden James, 19, and Preston, 20, both shared cryptic posts about them. She had previously posted a video last month disclosing her “horrible” leg injury.

She claimed that she “fell down the stairs” and that occasionally her leg “snaps out.” She later stated, “Not sure if it’s broken, but it’s snapped in for now” I appreciate you, God. She claimed “brain damage” in a recent alarming post.
Before the release of his memoir, her ex-boyfriend Kevin Federline, the father of her children, expressed his concerns. In his book, You Though You Knew, he made a number of shocking claims.
Kevin claimed that Sean was once “punched” in the face by Britney. He added that their sons had seen her “clutching a knife” on separate occasions in their bedroom doorway.
The former dancer claimed she once wished both sons “dead” and that she gave Jayden shellfish despite his allergies. Britney and Kevin were married from 2004 to 2007.
Later, he was granted full custody of their sons. He claimed in his book that Britney’s 13-year conservatorship, which ended in 2021, “brought stability when it was desperately needed.”
He continued to make the claim that it has become “impossible to pretend everything is okay” since its conclusion. If things don’t change, he continued, “Something bad is going to happen, and my biggest worry is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”
Britney was far from happy with her ex’s comments and in posts before deleting Instagram, she accused him of “gaslighting” her. She also said she had been left “demoralised” by her strained relationship with their children.

It’s been almost four years since the troubled star was freed from the controversial conservatorship that was imposed after her breakdown in 2007. However, despite regaining her long-fought freedom Britney has remained under intense scrutiny.
Her fans have been concerned about her erratic behavior ever since the decision to free her was made, despite the overjoyed feelings that persisted right away. She had posted naked photos on social media on several occasions, while others saw her dancing with knives.
