Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed a remarkable season, triumphing at both the US Open and Roland Garros. His victory in Paris was particularly dramatic, as he came back from two sets down and saved three match points to claim the title.
Sinner’s historic Wimbledon win
Jannik Sinner, meanwhile, made history earlier in the year by becoming the first Italian to win Wimbledon, defeating Alcaraz in the final. With both players splitting the four Grand Slam titles this season, their rivalry has become one of the defining stories of 2025.
Alcaraz on the challenge of facing Sinner
Speaking on court, Alcaraz acknowledged the difficulty of facing his Italian rival. “It’s going to be pretty difficult. The level we could play is really, really high, every time we face each other, I think we raise our level to the top,” said Alcaraz.
A final with extra spice
Sunday’s final carries added intrigue, as Alcaraz recently overtook Sinner to claim the world No. 1 ranking. It will also be his 11th final of the season, contested in front of a partisan Italian crowd. Alcaraz joked about the atmosphere he expects in Turin. “Well, I expect at least three or four people in the crowd cheering for me,” he said with a smile. “Obviously the people are going to be cheering for him but I will try to be really, really focused on my game and on the things that I have to do.”
Victory over Auger-Aliassime
Alcaraz reached the final by defeating Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime, an indoor specialist who has won seven of his eight titles on indoor courts. Alcaraz broke serve in the fourth game of the first set with a brilliant hooked volley and never looked back. He secured another break to take the set and completed the match with authority, advancing without needing his most spectacular tennis.
With Alcaraz and Sinner set to meet once again, fans can expect a high-level clash between two of the sport’s brightest stars. Their shared dominance of the Grand Slam season and battle for the top ranking ensures that the final will be one of the highlights of the year.
