The winner of the last Us Open took a big risk in the next games, committing a couple of very dangerous double faults, but somehow è managed to deserve the tie-break, where he è ended up forò under again. Alcaraz did not close the score even at 6-4, and after missing two set points he fired out an unforced forehand and backhand that gave Jannik Sinner the partial 7-6 (6).

In the second set, there's been great balance but the world number one squandered a great chance in the interminable eighth game, in response, where he narrowly missed the break.
