  • Delete the references fail WP:GNG in terms of establishing Alcaraz and Sinner as "rivals." These references are routine coverage of their matchups that are no different than it would be for any pair of high-ranking tennis players. I will also note that if this article is kept, which I oppose, the names should be reversed to the standard alphabetical order. Frank Anchor 17:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Per Wikiproject Tennis: "According to WP:NRIVALRY, rivalries are not inherently notable. We can only have articles about tennis rivalries if there is significant media coverage about the rivalry. For example, great rivalries like Agassi–Sampras or Federer–Nadal warrant an article, but articles about rivalries like Agassi–Rafter and Federer–Hewitt have been deleted by the community. If in doubt, consult WP:TENNIS before creating a new rivalry article." That's what this looks like to me. This is not a player interaction that requires a stand-alone article.
