Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to face off for the third time this year in a Grand Slam tournament final, and this matchup is more than just about winning a title.
Currently, Sinner is the defending champion of the US Open, and both players hold the top two spots in the ATP rankings. The winner not only claims the US Open title but will also ascend to the world’s No. 1 ranking.
This final will mark their 15th encounter and the fifth within just five months. Earlier this year, they competed against each other in the finals at the Italian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and most recently, the Cincinnati Open, with Alcaraz taking victories in all but the Wimbledon final.
Notably, it’s the first time since the Open Era began in 1968 that a player has reached three different Grand Slam finals in a single season.
Interestingly, Sinner is making his own mark on history as well; at just 24, he’s the youngest player in the Open Era to qualify for the finals of all four Grand Slams in one year. Earlier in the season, he successfully defended his Australian Open title against Alexander Zverev.
