Good and welcome to coverage of the US Open men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
Not only is a grand slam title up for grabs but also the world No 1 ranking, which Sinner has held since June 2024.
It is the third grand slam in a row that this match-up has been the final. All in all, there is no doubt that we are in the era of the big two.
“I love these challenges,” said Sinner. “I love to put myself in these positions. He’s someone who pushed me to the limit, which is great, because then you have the best feedback you can have as a player.
“We have faced each other quite a lot now lately, so things are getting a little bit different. Always when we step on court, we are aware of maybe more things, because him or me, we try to prepare the match tactically and in different ways.
