Tennis Stars Sinner and Alcaraz to Compete in Exciting US Open Final Third Round

In the highly anticipated US Open final, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will square off in a thrilling encounter, marking their third straight Grand Slam final meeting.

The young Spanish sensation Alcaraz, who is through to his seventh Grand Slam final, has expressed that winning a Grand Slam title is his top priority, surpassing the pursuit of being the world number one. Alcaraz's determination has paid off, as he currently stands on the brink of claiming his second major title.

Alcaraz's recent form has been nothing short of remarkable, winning an impressive 36 of his last 37 matches. His only loss during this streak came against Sinner at Wimbledon. However, their head-to-head record leans heavily in Alcaraz's favour, with the Spaniard winning six of their last seven encounters out of a total of 16 matches.

Sinner, the reigning US Open champion, aims to emulate the feat of Roger Federer by successfully defending his title, a feat last achieved by Federer in 2008. The Italian is currently on a 27-match winning run on hard courts at the majors, a testament to his impressive form.

The pair's rivalry has been shaped by a series of epic encounters, most notably a 5hr 15min quarter-final classic at the US Open in 2022. Sinner denied Alcaraz a shot at a rare calendar Slam at the French Open by saving three championship points.

Alcaraz, who won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open as a teenager three years ago, is the first man in a decade to reach the US Open final without dropping a set. He eclipsed Lleyton Hewitt's record as the youngest world number one at the age of 19.

The US Open final will be the latest in a series of major sporting events attended by President Donald Trump, who is set to be in attendance.

This promising final promises to be a thrilling contest between two of the sport's rising stars, with the number one ranking and the US Open title on the line.
