Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will savour the latest mouth-watering chapter of their potentially era-defining tennis rivalry, both winning their Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals convincingly to set up a showdown for the world No.1 spot.
Alcaraz ended the fairytale run of local Monegasque hero Valentin Vacherot with a convincing 6-4 6-4 victory on Saturday (Sunday AEST) after Sinner had looked primed to wrest the top spot from the Spaniard by the ruthless manner in which he dismantled Alexander Zverev 6-1 6-4.
The Monte Carlo Country Club duel will be the pair's first match on clay since their monumental final at the French Open last year, when Alcaraz edged the Italian in five epic sets, with many hailing it the best men's match ever played.
