Recent head-to-head history

The Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry defined 2025 with intensity. In Rome’s Masters 1000, Alcaraz won in straight sets. At Roland Garros, the Spaniard prevailed in five sets after 4 hours and 19 minutes.

Wimbledon was the exception, with Sinner claiming the title in four sets. In Cincinnati, Alcaraz secured another tight final. The US Open saw the Spaniard triumph in four sets, solidifying his recent dominance.

Path to the final

Alcaraz advanced directly to the semifinals as a top seed. Fritz, ranked fourth, defeated Alexander Zverev in the quarters 6-3, 6-4, but fell to Alcaraz in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Sinner, the defending champion, beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarters 6-2, 6-3. Against Djokovic, the Italian stayed in control, forcing errors in key moments.

The ANB Arena, with an 8,000-seat capacity, hosted quarters and semis without major upsets. The knockout format with shorter sets favors intense matchups. Tsitsipas and Zverev exited early, each earning at least $1.5 million for participation.
