1. competitor

   An enemy in private life is one who is moved by hostile feeling with active disposition to injure; but in military language all who fight on the opposite side are called enemies or collectively "the enemy," where no personal animosity may be implied; foe, which is rather a poetical and literary word, implies intensely hostile spirit and purpose. An antagonist is one who opposes and is opposed actively and with intensity of effort; an opponent, one in whom the attitude of resistance is the more prominent; a competitor, one who seeks the same object for which another is striving; antagonists in wrestling, competitors in business, opponents in debate may contend with no personal ill will; rivals in love, ambition, etc., rarely avoid inimical feeling. Adversary was formerly much used in the general sense of antagonist or opponent, but is now less common, and largely restricted to the hostile sense; an adversary is ordinarily one who not only opposes another in fact, but does so with hostile spirit, or perhaps out of pure malignity; as, the great Adversary.

How to use competitor in a sentence?

1. Shaheen Holloway:

   He was a competitor, he had that competitive spirit, you’ve got to realize, the team that we had at the McDonald’s game in the east, there were so many big-time level guys. He took everything personal all the time, like he always wanted to be the best.

2. Scott Lincicome:

   The political winds have shifted in treating China less as a competitor and more as an enemy, to the extent that Bloomberg actually mounts a defense of trade with China, and opposition to the tariffs specifically, he would be one man on an island and inevitably taking fire from all sides.

3. Donald Trump:

   We're looking at that and the problem that we have is that Samsung, it's a great company but it's a competitor of Apple. And it's not fair if, because... we made a trade deal with South Korea, but we have to treat Apple on a somewhat similar basis as we treat Samsung.

4. Paul Steck:

   For a franchise system, local is very hard, i’d love to tell you everything we serve is locally grown, but that’s not true for us or any competitor. We do source high-quality local products when we can. But the truth is, in a place like New Jersey, where I’m based, the growing season is really short. I think the important thing for most consumers is knowing where their food is coming from. There’s nothing wrong with produce being from the San Joaquin Valley. All food goes from farm to table; consumers just want to know that the people who grew it cared about it the way they do.

5. Richard Kilty:

   A few people have called me a one-hit wonder and counted me out yet again, i don't think they should do that again because I've come out here and proved I'm a fearless competitor.
