US Open Final Between Alcaraz and Sinner Played with the Roof Closed?
The weather is expected to be unpredictable in New York for this final weekend of competition.
With the risk of showers forecast for Saturday, the men's doubles final is being played with the roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium closed, and the same will apply for the women's final between Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova (not before 10 PM French time).
Journalist German Abril, who closely follows Carlos Alcaraz, revealed on X that the roof could also be closed for tomorrow's grand final, which pits the Spaniard against his rival Jannik Sinner.
This information is conditional, but it could obviously change the dynamics of this third consecutive Grand Slam final between the two players.
