Summary
And here we are at Court Philippe Chatrier, the heart of Roland Garros, where the two top players in the world, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, are about to face off for the title.
Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, is aiming to reclaim the trophy. His challenger: Jannik Sinner, the world number one, chasing his first Roland Garros championship.
It’s passion versus precision, strength versus strategy, fire versus ice. To put it quite simply, the perfect rivalry.
Ladies and gentlemen, the French Tennis Federation and France Télévisions proudly present: the 1980 Roland Garros Gentlemen’s Final.
Or: The Sincaraz rivalry, if it had unfolded on the 70s/80s tennis circuit - recounted years later by Carlos himself.

Summary
“Have we met before?” The words leave Jannik’s mouth without his permission, and he regrets them as soon as they tumble out. Too weird, too honest – the kind of untimely comment Lorenzo would advise him to keep inside.
He half-expects Carlos to laugh, to dismiss him or make fun of him, but instead, he smiles. “I was wondering the same thing.”

Sincaraz, but put them in early 16th century Florence. Also, they fight with swords.

Summary
“¿Tás listo?”
No, I am not; yes, I am; I have been falling apart for months; I missed you; I don’t tell you for I do not trust myself; I accepted what I thought would keep me in. This he condensed, as he always did, into a nod. “Sempre.”
Jannik Sinner returned to his sport draped in black; what he was mourning, he wasn’t sure yet.

“We should stop.” Jannik says it quickly, knowing if he hesitates for even a second, the words will catch in his throat and never come out.

Summary
For the rest of his shift and while pedaling home, all Jannik could think about was Carlos. He tried to reconcile the opponent Frances described, the one who had everyone else running scared, with the boy he saw tonight, who seemed to smile as though he had joy in an endless supply. Jannik didn’t want to underestimate him, but he didn’t want to be scared either.
By the way his stomach flipped when Carlos first saw him, the choice might have been made for him.
[In the heat of the high school tennis season, Jannik inherits Daniil’s varsity spot—and a new rival.]
