Alcaraz and Sinner Enjoy a Historic Season on the Brink of a 40-Year-Old Record
In just a few months, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have turned every tournament they've played in into an exciting duel. Six finals against each other, just this year. A number that hadn't been reached since 1984.
That year, two legends of the Open Era, Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe, had faced off seven times in finals, setting a standard that no one, until today, seemed capable of matching. Alcaraz and Sinner have come within just one step. A stunning performance, as it highlights the extent of their dominance.
So history is written: Alcaraz and Sinner are the first players in the Open Era since 1984 to face each other six times in ATP finals in a single season, a very rare feat. And the craziest part? We have the very clear feeling that they haven't yet reached their limits.
