New York – The first glowing meadows collide between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz It was a historic night flight to the morning.
Alcaraz sinner dueling 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-7 (0), 7-5, 6-3 in a quarter-finals of Open Epic 2022 US in a match that began a night on Wednesday and culminated at 2:50 am Thursday.
The duo carried an annoying crowd of night-and fans around the world-on a wild trip that lasted five hours, 15 minutes and was the second longest match of US Open in history.
Today, a ruthless sinner was broken Year Kopriva of year 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 starting protecting his open title in the US with pure dominance.
Sinner raised a second intriguing round against Aussie talent Alexei Popyrin, who won 2024 Canadian Open, then amazed Novak Djokovic in the US Open weeks later.
“I feel in good form physically. It’s been a few good practical days, especially the last couple,” Sinner said afterwards. “Yes, I feel physically in a good place.
“Also a good match of the first round, so I’m very happy. Let’s see what’s coming.”
Many in the world of tennis hope what is coming on September 7 is a showdown between No.1 Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz in the US final Open in what would be the second direct final of Sincaraz.
This collision would create vivid memories of their 2022 marathon that pushed Alcaraz to the US Open final, where he defeated Casper Ruud to ensure ranking number 1.

Reflecting in that match, Sinner said they were both more striking than the polished players both have been in three years since.
“We were getting to know each other obviously and in different ways, but we also didn’t know exactly what to expect in the future,” Sinner told Alcaraz. “The same thing now. You don’t know what’s going on, now with us now.
“I feel like when we were very, very young, it was, you know, as a kind of match where you just go to trial and just hit, you know.”
Depth is the change in rivalry now, the sinner said. Both men have developed more opportunities, so it is more tactical evidence than a matter of trying to defeat the opponent in the fist from the initial base.
Alcaraz, who held a 5-0 lead in this month’s final Cincinnat when the sinner withdrew due to the illness, posted a 40-2 goal since April.
The second Spaniard of the second seed grabbed the winner of the Strong Sinner Court in Cincinnati, while his Masters ATP lies 1000 winners in 17 games. Alcaraz holds a 9-5 career advantage over sin even though the sinner won their last big match in Wimbledon’s final.
Top 2 in the world have a square 10 times since that quarter-finals of the US Open with their matches now becoming the physical chess-everybody tries to predict that others move in advance for an important counterattack.
“Now I feel like we have to prepare tactically, we have to prepare it emotionally and mentally,” Sinner said. “It’s all different because, you know, in the last three years, we faced each other many times, and every match we play is different if we look at the tactical side.
“So we make adjustments. But it was certainly an important match to see that our peak is very interesting to see from the outside as well. It was certainly one of the main matches, even if we were too young.”
