Meanwhile, Alcaraz had to beat Holger Rune to set up a match with his idol, Nadal. In their last official meeting, Alcaraz won 6-3, 6-3. Alcaraz was visibly emotional during the match, as Nadal had announced his retirement the previous week, making this their final encounter.

Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz: Match Prediction
Jannik Sinner is having his best season, winning two Grand Slam titles and three Masters 1000 titles. The Italian has defeated every opponent this year, except for Carlos Alcaraz.
The two tennis titans have faced each other three times in 2024, with the Spaniard winning on all three occasions. Interestingly, all of their matches have been closely contested, going to either three sets (ATP matches) or five sets (Grand Slam matches).
Both Sinner and Alcaraz competed at the recently concluded Shanghai Masters. Since Sinner has played back-to-back finals in Beijing and Shanghai, he could be fatigued for the final. This may work in Alcaraz’s favor, giving him a chance to defeat his rival once again.
Match Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz in three sets
