"It will be very complicated," declares Alcaraz ahead of his clash with Sinner in the ATP Finals
After dominating the competition, Alcaraz and Sinner meet again to conclude their season with a monumental clash. The world No. 1, aware of the challenge, even hopes for "three or four supporters" in a crowd backing Sinner. This sets the stage for a high-stakes final.
In a season marked by the dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the ATP Finals were no exception. So tomorrow, starting at 6 PM in Turin, the world No. 1 and No. 2 will face off in their final duel of the year.
A dream matchup in this Masters tournament, which saw Alcaraz and Sinner crush the competition, with both men reaching the final having won all their matches.
Interviewed on court after his qualification tonight, the Spaniard briefly discussed this 16th encounter with his rival:
"I hope there will be three or four people to support me in the stands, because it will be very complicated. The level at which we are playing is very high, and every time we face each other, we raise it a notch. I will try to stay very focused on my tennis and what I need to implement."
For the record, Alcaraz has won seven of their last eight encounters, including the finals of Roland Garros and the US Open this year, but Sinner remains unbeaten indoors since the 2023 Davis Cup.
