Carlos Alcaraz took on Jannik evildoer at the US Open's men's net at the chester a. Arthur arthur robert ashe arena in New York on Sunday. The duo will have to play out a best of five sets and a player will have to win three sets to be crowned champion.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner started the game slowly, losing the first set 6-2 thanks to a slew of unforced errors. But he came back in the second set, winning it 6-3, followed by a 6-3 loss in the third set. It means Sinner has to win the fourth and the fifth set to win the Championship, while Alcaraz needs just one more to add to his lead.
At the US Open, each set is won by reaching six games with at least a two-game margin, though tiebreaks are used at 6–6 in most cases. Since 2022, all four Grand Slams — Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open — use a standardized 10-point final set tiebreak at 6–6 in the deciding set
Alcaraz, who started the match as the World No. 2, will replace Sinner at the top of the ATP rankings if he emerges winner of the US Open. It will be a major follow-up on the Spaniard's win at Wimbledon against the same opponent. He now looks to defend the title, as Sinner looks to add a grand slam to his crowns - a trophy that has been missing from the Italian's cabinet despite coming too close, too many times this year.
