Tonight's French Open Showdown: Sinner (1) vs. Alcaraz (2)
The two have faced each other 11 times before, with Alcaraz leading Sinner 7-4. But they never met in a Grand Slam final.
The two have met three times in Grand Slam tournaments:
In the semifinals of the 2024 French Open, Alcaraz defeated Sinner 2-6/6-3/3-6/6-4/6-3 and won the championship with a victory over Zverev in the final.
In the 2022 US Open quarterfinals, Alcaraz defeated Sinner 6-3, 6-7(5)/6-7(0)/7-5, 6-3 in the quarterfinals, and won the championship with a victory over Ruud in the final.
In the fourth round of Wimbledon 2022, Sinner defeated Alcaraz 6-1/6-4/6-7(8)/6-3 and finally lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
In addition, Alcaraz has won his last four victories against Sinner:
Three weeks ago, they beat Sinner 7-6(5), 6-1 at the Rome Masters.
In the final of the 2024 China Open, Alcaraz 6-7 (6), 6-3, 7-6 (3).
The other two were the semifinals of the 2024 French Open and the semifinals of Indian Wells, both of which Alcaraz won.
Judging from the match data, Alcaraz has an absolute advantage, but from the performance of this French Open, I feel that Sinner is in better shape. Especially after Sinner beat in-form Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) in the semi-finals, it was necessary to tip the balance of victory in Sinner's favor. Although after Sinner's doping scandal, people would prefer defending champion Alcaraz to win in this ultimate matchup.
The game starts at 9:00 tonight. Welcome everyone to continue to pay attention and discuss in the comment area.
