Sinner and Alcaraz challenge each other again in Cincinnati after Rome, Paris and Wimbledon: the final of the world tennis that inflames 2025
Jannik Sinner against Carlos Alcaraz will still be. After Rome, Paris and Wimbledon, the two tennis rulers find themselves in front of Cincinnati. Nobody seems to be able to keep up with their level: not the surprise Altmane, not the expert Zverev. The semifinals confirmed the parallel journey of the two, destined to cross again on Monday evening.
Sinner suffers a set, then celebrates the birthday
Total balance in the first set for Sinner against the surprising Altmane. The alternation to the service led to the tie-break, where the blue has asserted the greater experience.
Jannik recognized the opponent’s merits: “He played very well, in the first set he pulled all over and it was not easy. I am happy with growth in this tournament, I exploited the day of rest well to work on things to improve ».
The Italian number one also explained the difficulty of the challenge: “In these tournaments you have sometimes you have to rest, other times work harder, but the difficulty is when you meet opponents I don’t know, and I had never dealt with Altmane”.
Those 68 minutes of struggle in the first set were not easy, but in the second Sinner managed without problems and was able to close in ease. The best way to celebrate his birthday.
Alcaraz eliminates Zverev: “I’m ready”
Carlos Alcaraz also closed the practice in two sets, exceeding Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-3. A game marked by the physical conditions of the German, who never managed to worry the Spaniard.
Like a year ago, therefore, Sinner will play the Cincinnati final, this time without the shadow of the Clostebol case that a year ago would have shaken the circuit.
The path of Jannik in this tournament was particular: asking to return to the field after a victory that had not satisfied him, overwhelming opponents who had always beaten him (as auger-aliassime in the quarterfinals), suffer against an unknown opponent and then get to the final.
Alcaraz, on the other hand, confirmed his solidity and the profound knowledge of the rival: it will be an opportunity to equalize the 2025 accounts. Victories of Carlos in Rome and Paris, a triumph of Jannik in Wimbledon. Now Cincinnati, waiting for New York.
The Spaniard said he was sure at the end of the semifinal: “I am ready for the challenge”.
