Preview

Sinner and Alcaraz have already played two epic Grand Slam finals in 2025.

Alcaraz won a five-set battle at Roland Garros, while Sinner captured the Wimbledon title in four sets.

The two players met two other times in 2025. Alcaraz won on clay in Rome in straight sets. The other meeting on the Cincinnati hard court ended with an injury retirement from Sinner.

Alcaraz owns a 9-5 edge from the 14 previous head-to-head meetings. Four of Sinner's five wins took place in 2022 and 2023.

Sinner's only win against Alcaraz in the last two years was at Wimbledon earlier this year.

Alcaraz has the clear head-to-head edge, but the majority of his wins in the last two years over Sinner took place on clay and grass courts.

Sinner has been the better hard court player during that span with two Australian Open titles and the 2024 US Open crown.

Although Sinner lost two more sets in New York this summer than Alcaraz, he could still be considered the favorite by some experts.

Sinner and Alcaraz are so close in form where it would be a total surprise if the match went just three sets.

Sinner's hard-court success could be the X-factor that pulls him ahead in the contest.

Regardless of the result, Sinner and Alcaraz will have combined to win the last eight men's majors.

Prediction: Sinner over Alcaraz in five sets.
