Sinner vs Alcaraz — The Rivalry
The Italian’s only victory against Carlos Alcaraz on clay came in the final of the 2022 Umag, an ATP 250 tennis tournament, in Croatia. Sinner won the match in straight sets.
Jannik Sinner, who won the Australian Open in January, made the French Open final after a straight-sets win against Novak Djokovic in the semis. He is yet to drop a set in this edition of the French Open.
Sinner defeated three-time French Open winner and 100-time tour-level titlist by 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3), with the match featuring points earned all over the tennis court, Sinner’s precision and power and his great serve. This all overwhelmed the 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic and helped the 23-year-old set up a first-ever major final between players born in the 2000s.
Though the match was one-sided as reflected by the scoreline, it did have many thrills and moments of genius from the 38-year-old Djokovic, who produced some great shots. But he let slip three set points on return at 5-4 in the third set, and Sinner’s relentless hard work and consistency reaped rewards.
Olympic silver medallist Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, got a walkover against eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti of Italy in the semi-finals.
A four-time Gram Slam winner, Carlos Alcaraz’s last loss against Jannik Sinner came in 2023 when the Italian won the semi-finals of the Beijing ATP 500.
