Sinner dropped his first set of the tournament in beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in his semifinal on Friday. In doing so, the Italian top seed and world number one joined Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only men in the open era to have reach all four grand slam finals in the same season. The victory was also his 27th in a row in hard-court grand slam matches, equaling Djokovic’s record; one more win and the record is his outright. Remember, defending champion Sinner is just 24 and he got the win in the Wimbledon final over Alcaraz.
Still only 22 himself, Alcaraz has been no less impressive in reaching a second US Open final, the site of his first major win back in 2022. The Spaniard is yet to drop a set en route to the Flushing Meadows showpiece and his bludgeoning groundstrokes proved more than even 24-time major grand slam champion Djokovic could handle in their 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 semifinal. He also holds a 9-5 career advantage over Sinner, including victory in six of their past seven meetings.
While Sinner won at SW19, Alcaraz got the title at Roland Garros and took the title over an ill Italian in the Cincinnati Open final. This is going to be an epic and you absolutely cannot miss it.
