Jannik Sinner to meet Carlos Alcaraz The defending champion survived the panic of injury to knock out Félix Auger-Aliassime’s fierce challenge in four sets at Arthur Ashe Stadium, winning the U.S. Open title. World No. 1 won the match 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in three hours and 21 minutes on Friday night, booking a third consecutive Grand Slam final against Espanyol and highlighting the competition that has reshaped the men’s game.
The victory left Sina as the fourth in history, reaching all four major finals in a season after Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, and the smallest of 24. His 27-game winning streak in a tough Grand Slam equals Djokovic’s best result, with only Federer still leading the way with 36 shots. Now, he has five straight major finals, winning trophys in Melbourne and Wimbledon and standing with a point in the victory of Roland Garros before Alcaraz turned the game around. The No. 1 ranking will also be ranked in Sunday’s finals. “It’s an amazing season,” Sina said. “The Grand Slam is the most important game, and finding yourself in another final here, it’s an amazing crowd, which hasn’t improved. Tonight is very tough, but I’m glad I managed to do it. Sunday will be special. Carlos and I know each other very well.”
Sinner broke the routine night with a 6-1 score in 43 minutes, breaking the forehand of Auger-Aliassime betrayed him. When Canada wasted three breakout points early in the second set, all in the second set, the momentum seemed to be leaning towards the top seed. Instead, the game flipped. Olympiad-Aliassime finished 25th after entering the last four games in 2021 and played in the second semifinal to rip off 12 of the last 13 points with a heavy blow and a bold ground hit to catch fire. He broke 5-3 with a bubble inside and out and closed the scene with a continuous A, as Ashe crowds filled the roaring corners behind the weak.
At that time, Sinner called out the coach to treat his shoulders and abdomen, and his first service percentage had hovered below 50% further down. However, he stabilized himself. He escaped the pressure with a series of ac speeds in the third quarter, and then broke the pressure as the forehand of the Omino curve staggered 2-4. He shuts the scene off with a love attitude, relying on rhythm rather than placement and resilience.
The fourth time was the best passage of the night, both of whom were trading in Hellfire, forcing each other to have a rally of lung damage. Sinner faced three breakout points at 2-2, but wiped them with trademark calm. In the next game, Auger-Aliassime staggered again, Sinner pounced and drew a line with forehand, his opponent couldn’t chase 3-2. The Canadian continued to fight, but after more than three hours his legs looked heavy and the sinner never let go of his grip and ended the match with authority.
This number tells the story: 4 breakouts from 10 chances, 9 savings from 10 rest points, 33 winners to 22 mistakes. Auger-Aliassime, who beat Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev and Alex de Minaur, will return to the top 20 in the two weeks of revitalization and remind New York of his ability to bother the elite. However, Sinner Steel’s consistency surpassed his opponent’s purple patches in the second plate.
For sinners, the results confirm the inevitability of Sunday’s final. Alcaraz earlier in the day Demolition of direct Djokovic Arrive at his second U.S. Open final. Together, the two have succumbed the sport to their will: After Sunday, they will share their past eight Grand Slam titles, while 10 of the past 13 have laid the foundation for a competition already felt as if the times defined. Alcaraz has raised the five majors Grand Slam hits to four, and the ranking of No. 1 is also threatened, and their duel at the summit is hardly clearer.
