The US Open final between Sinner and Alcaraz will be played under indoor conditions
An advantage for Jannik Sinner heading into the US Open final? That is, in any case, news that might please the Italian a bit more than his rival Carlos Alcaraz.
The two players, who are facing off in their third consecutive Grand Slam final, will play on Arthur Ashe Stadium with the roof closed. The information, which was already circulating yesterday, has been confirmed by SkySports and several other media outlets on social media.
With the risk of showers being too high, the organizers have decided, as with the women's final yesterday, to keep the roof closed. These playing conditions will suit Sinner's game a bit more, as he is used to doing damage indoors.
But the world No. 1 will have to face the brilliant form of his opponent, who hasn't dropped a single set throughout the fortnight.
