The US Open final is scheduled for September 7, featuring Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting matchup. Here’s an overview of the key details for this important match.
Jannik Sinner
This year, the Italian player has won two Grand Slam titles and was the runner-up in another. Although he missed some tournaments due to disqualification, he comes into this event as the world number one.
Sinner has not faced much difficulty at this competition. His most challenging matches were against Shapovalov, where he lost a set, and Auger-Aliassime, which he won in four sets. He has won straight sets against players like Kopriva, Popyrin, Bublik, and Musetti. Sinner is defending his title at this US Open.
Carlos Alcaraz
The Spanish player has had a strong season, winning six titles, including one major. He has been impressive at this tournament, winning every match without dropping a set. In the semifinal against Djokovic, he won 6-4, 7-6, 6-2, even after being down 0-3 in the second set. He has also defeated Opelka, Darderi, Bellucci, Rinderknech, and Lehecka.
Alcaraz has additional motivation for this final: winning will bring him back to world number one. He previously won the US Open in 2022.
Match facts
- Sinner has won 18 of 19 matches on hard courts this season.
- Alcaraz has 27 wins in 31 hard-court matches.
- The odds for the match are: Sinner – 1.8, Alcaraz – 2.08.
Head-to-head
Alcaraz leads their rivalry, having won 10 out of 15 matches. They have played each other four times this year, all in finals, with Alcaraz winning three of those encounters.
Prediction
This will be their third Grand Slam final against each other this season. They have proven themselves as the top players in the world, often only competing against each other. Both are in excellent form, making a quick match unlikely. I expect over 39.5 total games in this match.
