Hopefully Sinner does not take scar tissue away from this.14I think the difference in this match was the titles and matches against Djokovic and Nadal that Carlos has had in 2022… At the end Alcaraz probably had just a little more belief in getting over the line.

Carlos Alcaraz really is something else. That one will hurt for Jannik Sinner but these two will surely have many, many more grand slam battles to come.

Tiafoe backed up his big win over Rafael Nadal in the fourth round with a straight-sets victory over Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals to set up a meeting with the young Spaniard.The duo have met once on the ATP tour before at the 2021 Barcelona Open, where the American won in straight sets. A victory on Friday would pit Alcaraz against either Casper Ruud or Karen Khachanov in the summit clash, both of whom are vying for their first Grand Slam title much like himself.If the teenager manages to take the title in New York, he will become the new World No. 1, making him the youngest man to hold the position in ATP history.Also Checkout:- US Open 2022 Schedule
