Right, that’s it from me. But Daniel will be back tomorrow for the final, and you know you want to join him. Thanks for your company as always. Bye!

So this will be sixth final between Alcaraz and Sinner this year, and the 16th meeting in total. Every time they’ve both competed at a tournament in 2025, one of them has finished with the title, including at all four slams. And this season finale will be no different. The stats are staggering – as was their play today, especially Alcaraz’s in the first set against Auger-Aliassime and Sinner’s in the second against De Minaur. If they bring their best tomorrow, and their neverending French Open final is anything to go by, and final-set tie-breaks weren’t a thing, they’d probably still be going at each other Isner-Mahut style when the new season starts in 2026.
