Jannik Sinner in final, new super challenge with Carlos Alcaraz

Mission accomplished for Jannik Sinner, who overcame Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals, earning him access to the final act of the Us Open.

On New York’s concrete, the world number one prevailed with a score of 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 at the end of a battle that lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes, once again confirming his ability to handle key moments with coolness and lucidity.

Awaiting him in the final will be Carlos Alcaraz, who in the other semifinal got the better of Novak Djokovic. It will be yet another chapter in the most fascinating rivalry in contemporary tennis, the one between two young stars who are marking an era.

Sunday at stake will be not only the title but also the number 1 world ranking: whoever wins will take it all and be the new leader for the computer as well.
