Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet for the first time in 2026 in this afternoon’s Monte Carlo Masters final with not only the title on the line but also the world No 1 spot.

Sinner has enjoyed a sparkling recent spell of form – becoming the first man since Novak Djokovic to reach the first three Masters 1000 finals in a season, having already lifted the trophy at Indian Wells and Miami. He is on a 21-match winning streak at the Masters 1000 level and if that stretches to 22 this afternoon, he will leapfrog Alcaraz as world No 1.
