Summary
“I wanted to know how happy I could be without you. Without feeling as if every match is a deal I make with the devil. I wanted to lose to you and hate you instead of going home to you. I should have realized that was not possible—at the end of the day, it all comes back to you.”
In the City of Light, a summer between the two: a fracturing, and a homecoming.

Summary
Another notification buzzes Carlos’ phone. It startles him to the point of almost dropping the damn thing. With fumbling fingers he unlocks it. Goes straight to the only chat he has unmuted.
[J] Carlos
[J] Mi dispiace ☹️
[J] Room number?
[J] Caro
[J] Mi manchi
Carlos wants to throw his phone against the wall. Watch it shatter into a million tiny fragments; like his heart. They need to stop doing this, whatever this has become. They'd agreed.
They keep slipping up more and more since Paris.

Summary
This is what a rivalry is: standing at the end of the tunnel after yet another battle, bodies as still as rubber bands pulled taut. The scent of sweat and the ache of short-term memory converting small talk into the heaviest words in the world. Impossibly normal conversations with impossibly simple ends.
or: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's relationship developing across each of their matchups (from the 2021 Paris Masters to the 2025 US Open final), as told from the perspective of the loser of each match.
