Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 on Sunday, completing a near-perfect show at the US Open, earning his sixth career grand slam dominant. Alcaraz improved to 10-5 in his career against the sinners, earning seven of the Titans’ final eight matchups, including three major finals, finishing this with an ace at match points.
Alcaraz ran into the stands at Arthur Ash Stadium and bearhanged after the game with tears in his eyes at his dad and his team. After a fierce three-hour match, Alkaraz’s flood of emotions has finally been released.
Alcaraz did his best in the third set and experienced a bit of movement in the second backhand along with the second backhand, then got the action on the sinner, taking some varied and loopy forehands whose opponents had broken for the winner. Five of Alcaraz’s seven aces won three through three sets, regaining control of the match and bent several shots showing one of the sport’s rising superstars.
Alkaraz broke the sinner early in the third set, and later advanced 3-0 with a commander serve. Down 30-0 during that service game, Alcaraz hit the winner of the banana shot with overhead from the baseline, moving past the stretched racket of thinner on the corner.
“What you’re doing all season, what you’re doing on the amazing level you’re in,” Alcaraz told the sinner after the match. “Every tournament you play, I see you more than my family. So sharing the court and locker room with you is great. I see you improving every day and working hard with your team.
40-30, Alcaraz won the game with a soft tap on the net after Thinner attempted with a volley that passed through the corner of the court. The winner of Alcaraz’s previous hooking in the game was undoubtedly a shot of the match, and the sinner wondered what more he had to do after he reached the ball in the corner to keep the points alive.
The sinner broke eight times in three sets. whole The tournament heading into the final. He was almost broken by love in his third fourth match after Alcaraz predicted a series of short returns.
A 4-0 lead from Alcaraz on the set won the third and was enough to sense the title shortly afterwards.
For the first time in the tournament, Alkaraz showed lack of accuracy in the semi-finals against Novak Djokovic, and scored a tiebreaker victory in the second set to stave off the vigorous charges of the Serbs. It was a straight set victory, but not as dominant as his previous success, like his coast, losing only three games in total to Mattia Bellucci in the second round last week.
These contradictions that emerged against Djokovic were unable to appear early on against the sinner. Alcaraz did his best to beat the world’s number one spot and aimed for his plans to increase his strengths – chips and rushes, volley depth, strong cross-court forehand in the corner.
Alcaraz misses perfect narrowly
Alcaraz became the first man in the open era when Thinner won a US open title without dropping a set. Ken Rosewall, Ilie Nastase, Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are the only ones who won majors without losing a set.
Nadal achieved feats four times at the French Open, and Borg did it twice, perfecting it at Wimbledon in 1976. Alcaraz scored 88 of the first 90 service games of the tournament, facing nine breakpoints throughout his two weeks in New York before a thinner break.
Before Thinner’s desired sliver, Alcaraz scored 13 straight points on serve, in full control. Alcaraz made 11 forced errors in the second set after only two during the opening set victory.
“It’s great for me. That’s what I’m working on. It’s just consistency of matches, tournaments, general years,” he said before his victory on the ATP Tour. “There’s just no ups and downs in the match. I wanted to keep that level very high throughout the match just at the level where we started the match.”
Alkaraz jumps into a hot start
The purpose is to not allow the sinner to find similarities in rhythm and shorten the points in the first set. Alcaraz’s calculation plan was first well interpreted. Alcaraz opened as an attacker and designed two breakpoint opportunities during the first game of the match, then made the most of the second match, resulting in an error that had not moved the sinner on the backhand cross court.
Thinner had previously responded with a serve below the center, shortly back to return to Deuce before Alcaraz finished the game. Alcaraz won his subsequent service game with a punch-drop volley behind Thinner, who was hoping for a forehand strength into the corner. The change in the pattern appeared to be part of an early plan from the Spaniards against opponents who were familiar with his game.
Eight of the 10 forced errors of thinner in the first set went into a 3-1 deficit during the first four games. A backhand slice drop from Alcaraz lands 10 feet before the sinner and drops right above the net in the middle of the usual intense right-to-smile set.
At another breakpoint of 4-2, Alcaraz was chased deep into the boundary and lofted towards the center of the court where the sinner was clipped to the net in a simple slice attempt. This was another forced error for a sinner, non-characteristic play from one of the most consistent players on the tour.
The sinner struggled to find his groove on the opening set, and challenged him to either lack some routine shots that he normally crushes for the winner, or at least hit his opponent with a full return with precise depth.
Rivalry continues for the best of the game
Thinner defeated Alcaraz in the Wimbledon Finals this summer, but it was the Spaniards who revenged that loss with grass and lasted longer than their archrivals on the next Grand Slam opportunity. Alkaraz previously defeated a sinner in it A comeback that is difficult to understand at the French Open Earlier this year, after facing triple match points in the third set, he removed the elimination and finished his contract with 5 at Roland Garros for his second straight title at Clay.
Sunday’s outing was atypical from a sinner who broke a few times in the first set and lost a bit of restlessness after giving up a 30-0 lead in the first game of the second set in serves. Thinner finally slammed energy from the crowd after beating overhead past Alkaraz in the fourth match of the second set in the net fight.
Two points later, Thinner had Alkaraz’s first break on a passing shot, allowing him to feel the momentum moving in his direction before things were unraveled on the third time.
