Carlos Alcaraz criticized by Italian Tennis President over yacht purchase

Angelo Binaghi, the president of the Italian Tennis Federation, criticized Carlos Alcaraz's extravagant lifestyle while praising Jannik Sinner's work ethic. Binaghi stated that Alcaraz's recent luxury yacht purchase stands in contrast to Sinner's humility and discipline. Critics have drawn parallels between Alcaraz's spending habits and his focus on the sport, suggesting it may affect his performance. Alcaraz recently withdrew from the French Open and the 2026 Wimbledon due to a right wrist injury, while Sinner faced a physical collapse in his last match at Roland Garros. Both players are now preparing for the grass-court season.
