Jannik Sinner took care of Félix Auger-Aliassime in four sets (6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4) Friday to reach the U.S. Open final. The ATP world No. 1 and top seed officially sets up a highly anticipated match with his rival, world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, to decide the final major of the year.
The final between Sinner and Alcaraz won't just decide the U.S. Open; the winner will also claim the No. 1 ranking. It will be the third straight major that sees a final between the two top players. Alcaraz won the French Open final earlier this summer in an all-time match, coming back from two sets down and fighting off three championship points for the thrilling win. Sinner then repaid the favor at the Wimbledon final when he defeated Alcaraz in four sets.
