Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have separated themselves from the rest of the field with their incredible results over the past year.

The tennis world, it seems, needs to be assured of a Carlos Alcaraz versus Jannik Sinner final when they play the same tournament. Because in the ongoing Cincinnati Masters, they have scheduled a fourth clash this season.

In a long interview with 'Tennis365', legendary coach Rick Macci explained this concept in detail: "Sinner is changing the game in terms of consistency in hitting the ball with high quality, while Alcaraz is changing tennis thanks to his completeness. The Big 3 had changed this sport differently than Jannik and Carlos."

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and hot rival Carlos Alcaraz will face off in a major final for the fourth time this season after both booked straight-set wins into the title match at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open on Saturday.

Veteran journalist Chris Clarey has spent over three decades covering tennis for publications like The New York Times.

If Jannik were to win his fifth Masters 1000, he would find himself at 11,830 points in the ATP ranking and Carlos would be at 9240 points. This would mean that the star from Murcia would have to win the US Open to dethrone his top rival and become world number 1 again.

Carlos Alcaraz’s sensational 2025 season hits another milestone as he storms into the Cincinnati Open semifinals while cementing his place among tennis legends like Roger Federer.

Carlos Alcaraz takes on Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the Cincinnati Open, with both men looking to build momentum ahead of the US Open.
