Carlos Alcaraz

This season is going well for Alcaraz, although at the start it seemed that the Spaniard lacked stability. Carlitos has found confidence on clay, winning 22 of 23 matches on the surface and winning three tournaments, including Roland Garros.

In total, the Spaniard won eight tournaments this season, and also managed to return to the top of the world ranking. This tournament can be considered more as a pleasant monetary bonus, because tennis players receive 1.5 million dollars just for their participation. In the semifinals, Alcaraz expectedly dealt with the fourth ranked player in the world, the American Taylor Fritz – 6:4, 6:2.

Yannick Sinner

The Italian started the season in the status of the first racket in the world, won the opening major in Australia, but then the doping scandal and disqualification became an unpleasant surprise. To Sinner’s credit, he withstood the blow with dignity, which did not greatly affect his level of tennis.

The most regrettable moment of the year for the player is probably the lost final of Roland Garros, where Yannik did not realize a triple match point. So far, the Italian is the current and only holder of the Six Kings Slam title.

The athlete started this tournament in the quarterfinals, where he easily dealt with the Greek Stephanos Tsitsipas – 6:2, 6:3. In the semifinals, Sinner beat Novak Djokovic in two games – 6:4, 6:2.

Personal meetings

In face-to-face confrontations, Alcaraz leads 11:5, but only official matches were taken into account here, in other words, the Six Kings Slam final won by Sinner last year was not included in these statistics.

Forecast

The strongest players in the world at the moment will play against each other, which is also confirmed by the rating.

When tennis players of this level meet, you can always expect an unpredictable result. A prize of 6 million dollars is at stake, so the motivation of the athletes is good.

I think Alcaraz has a psychological advantage, given the history of face-to-face confrontations, I would risk betting on a clear victory for the Spaniard.
