Jannik Sinner On Playing Against Carlos Alcaraz Ahead Of US Open 2025 Final, Says ‘Our Rivalry Started…’ News24 –

The defending champion Jannik Sinner will be playing against Carlos Alcaraz in the final of US Open 2025. He opened up about the clash and called it “special” as he reached his fifth grand slam final. Sinner defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and he is chasing his fifth career major.

“I think five straight Grand Slam finals, it’s something great. The consistency and putting myself there in the later stages of the biggest tournaments we have, it’s amazing,” said Sinner.

“I would have never thought that I would make this when I turned pro, and now I find myself here.”

“On court we like to see each other, you know, because it means that considering our ranking, it means that we are doing well in the tournament,” said Sinner.

“Sunday is a very special day and an amazing final again,” said Sinner. “I feel like our rivalry started here playing an amazing match. We are two different players now, with different confidence too.”

Sinner won the Australian Open and Wimbledon title but lost the French Open. His world ranking no.1 will also be at stake as he takes on Carlos Alcaraz in the final. The duo will meet in US Open for the second time as their last encounter in the tournament was at the quarter-finals in 2022 where Alcaraz emerged victorious.
