A dream challenge that puts not only a historic passage to the round at stake.

Jannik Sinner challenges Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open, in a clash of young prodigies of world tennis whose winner will advance to the semifinals at Flushing Meadows. But there is also more to come, especially for the South Tyrolean who can put extremely complicated months behind him.

Sinner in fact has returned close to the world top 10, as he currently occupies the number 11 position in the ATP ranking. Well, his path at the US Open has already allowed him to move up two positions (he was 13th at the beginning of the tournament) and the quarterfinal is worth as many.

In fact, a win over Alcaraz would hand Sinner the No. 9 position in the world rankgin, which would immediately become No. 8 should Rublev lose to Tiafoe. One more reason for interest behind the dream challenge between the South Tyrolean and Alcaraz.
