Sinner 0-2 Alcaraz* <\/strong>A much quicker game, Alcaraz holding to 15 and, in the process, unfurling a wrong-footing forehand to reach 40, then confirming the consolidation with a beautiful drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crazy out here,\u201d advises our man on the ground, Bryan Armen Graham.<\/p>\n

*Sinner 0-1 Alcaraz (*denotes server) <\/strong>We\u2019ve been waiting a while \u2013 since the Wimbledon final finished, really \u2013 but we\u2019re good to go now, and Sinner races to 30-0. But Alcaraz then hooks a terrific forehand on to the line, not a winner but enough to win the point, then a backhand swatted wide gives him 30-all. A bit of pressure for Sinner and when offered a second serve, Alcaraz doesn\u2019t need asking twice, a flat, fast return too good. So, break-point down, Sinner of course ups pace on delivery \u2013 the stones that takes \u2013 makes deuce then, after 13 shots of corner-to-corner jousting, advantage. These two are so well matched it\u2019s ridiculous \u2013 like they\u2019ve been intelligently designed to bestow upon us the greatest tennis there is \u2013 and when Sinner overhits a backhand down the line, we\u2019re back to deuce, the first game threatening to become an epic, never mind the contest itself. And have a look! Sinner reclaims the ad via ace, then Alcaraz unleashes on forehand, annihilating from well behind the baseline until his opponent can\u2019t take any more. Already, this is affirming, exhilarating stuff, and when Sinner nets a forehand he must face a second break point. Ooooh, and we see Alcaraz\u2019s backhand slice for the first time, zoning low over the net and dipping; the champ can\u2019t respond, and that\u2019s that break! It feels absurd to rhapsodise a mere game, but what else can we do? These lads together are the truth.<\/p>\n

Righto, Alcaraz won the toss and opted to receive.<\/strong> Ready \u2026 play.<\/p>\n

There are so many people still outside, unable to use the tickets for which they\u2019ve paid.<\/strong> It\u2019s a complete disgrace, and Martina is the only pundit with the minerals and conscience to say so.<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta wonder if a lot of people attending who wouldn\u2019t have booed before will now after being stuck in that line instead of the seats they paid a lot for,\u201d<\/strong> wonders Zach Neeley.<\/p>\n

And what a damning indictment of our world that\u2019d be.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz looks properly dialled-in. <\/strong>I wonder if that\u2019s to his advantage, or if he plays better when feeling freer and this is the pressure getting big on him.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d say Rybakina is in the mix, maybe Paolini,\u201d<\/strong> emails Mark Tran responding to my point about women\u2019s tennis. \u201cEnjoy the show. I\u2019ll be relying on your commentary as I haven\u2019t got TV coverage. I wonder if Sinner can endure physically if it goes to five.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be surprised \u2013 but delighted \u2013 if Paolini wins one. Rybakina is a maybe, as she can beat anyone, but I\u2019m not sure she can win enough big matches consecutively unless her consistency improves.<\/p>\n

Here come our players, Alcaraz in pink and mauve, Sinner in all rust. <\/strong>I\u2019ve not a clue why.<\/p>\n

The arena is half-empty<\/strong>, but it\u2019s anthem time.<\/p>\n

I said this earlier in the competition,<\/strong> but Alcaraz looks like he should be in the keep-fit class at the start of Back to the Future \u2013 or maybe he\u2019s off to the Shore once this is done.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz is stretching, headphones on; Sinner is chasing a teammate around bikes in the gym, chucking a ball about.<\/strong> They\u2019re learning from each other, but also, Sinner is probably more relaxed: he can afford to lose this but Alcaraz really must win, and for all the amiable bonhomie, he remains a killer.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Credit where it\u2019s due:<\/strong> Ryan Harrison has been a tremendous addition to the Sky commentary team. For a long time, tennis has lagged behind other sports in terms of in-depth analysis, but the BBC improved this Wimbledon with more detailed breakdowns from Todd Woodbridge, and Harrison is doing the same. It\u2019s great to see.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the final to be postponed because of this is insane,\u201d advises Martina.<\/strong> Well said, Legend.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, there\u2019ll be plenty of people here for the tennis and who\u2019ve paid for their ticket who\u2019ll miss the start, in order to accommodate someone who isn\u2019t and who hasn\u2019t. It is, I\u2019m afraid, a complete nonsense.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into this final,\u201d begins Gavriella Epstein-Lightman<\/strong>, \u201cAlcaraz and Sinner\u2019s roles are reversed. It is Alcaraz who has been ruthlessly efficient, not dropping a set, whereas Sinner has dropped two sets.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has also been serving better than Sinner this tournament, getting 7% more first serves in than Sinner, with 5% more unreturned serves.<\/p>\n

This is in contrast to the situation before the Roland Garros final this year: Alcaraz had dropped four sets whilst Sinner had largely eased through, unflappable as per usual. We know how that final went.<\/p>\n

So how far is recent form in the tournament a predictor of performance in the final?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say both have played so well it\u2019s hard to look at their route to this point and find anything telling other than Sinner\u2019s stomach knack \u2013 if it\u2019s still bothering him. It\u2019s also worth noting that he was bothered by Bublik recently, but when they met round three, he binned him 1, 1 and 1. As Calv said below, this match will probably be decided by which of the two play better, not any tactical tweak, and both are in such good nick we can\u2019t possibly predict which it\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

The queues outside are colossal;<\/strong> our players are scheduled to walk out at 37 minutes past the hour, but I\u2019d not be surprised if that\u2019s pushed back again. Still, in return we get to see the continuing theft of democracy in real time, so.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

With men\u2019s tennis settled into a pattern, there\u2019s an interesting contrast to be found in the women\u2019s game.<\/strong> For the last decade and a bit, it\u2019s been the least predictable sport in the world, all manner of random winning majors, but it now feels like we\u2019re on the verge of a new era: Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova and Naomi Osaka \u2013 maybe Karolina Muchov\u00e1 too, if she stays fit \u2013 appear to be settling at the top. You never know, but I\u2019d suggest it\u2019ll be a while before anyone but them wins a slam, and if the latter three names can get in amongst it, we might soon be talking about one of the great eras.<\/p>\n

One of the many things I love about the Sincaraz rivalry<\/strong> is what sound lads they clearly are and, from which flows, how well they get on with each other. I can\u2019t lie, I tend to like a bit of needle in my sport \u2013 I found, for example, Klopp-Guardiola a bit bloodless for my taste.<\/p>\n

But when these two get together it feels like a celebration of what\u2019s best about humanity, so the two of them being both mates and menschen fits beautifully. And, let\u2019s be real, we need that example and inspiration more than ever.<\/p>\n

More from Bryan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An hour before Sunday\u2019s US Open men\u2019s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the boardwalk from the Mets-Willets Point subway to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was quiet, punctuated only by bursts of fans spilling out of the No 7 train every few minutes.<\/p>\n

Among them stood Emma Kaplan, a 33-year-old executive assistant from Brooklyn, distributing flyers that read \u201cThe Fall of the Trump Fascist Regime.\u201d She was joined by three members of RefuseFascism.org, one hoisting a poster that declared \u201cGAME, SET, MATCH! NOV 5, FLOOD DC. TRUMP MUST GO!\u201d; another\u2019s sign demanded the shutdown of ICE and \u201cthe whole Trump fascist regime.\u201d<\/p>\n

As waves of spectators streamed past, a heavy security presence shadowed the scene \u2013 NYPD, Parks Department officers, Homeland Security agents and the Secret Service. Some fans nodded quietly in approval. Others made their opposition clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my bad, I voted for him,\u201d one man muttered.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaga! Make America great again!\u201d shouted another, a 22-year-old from Long Island who said he would happily back Trump again.<\/p>\n

Kaplan brushed off the jeers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump has historically been booed here,\u201d she told me. \u201cHe should be booed everywhere he goes. And on November 5 we\u2019re calling for millions of people to come to Washington DC. They might try to silence our boos, but they can\u2019t silence our rage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked what she\u2019d say directly to Trump, Kaplan didn\u2019t hesitate: \u201cGet the hell out of Chicago. Stay out of New York, get out of LA and get out of the fucking White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, she said, reactions had been mixed. \u201cWe just got out here \u2026 our audience really is everybody who hates Trump, [for them] to not be silent right now.\u201d She added that she felt safe and had not been approached by security.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s are major queues outside Arthur Ashe, <\/strong>as Donald Trump is taking a break from golf to take in a bit of tennis and there\u2019s more security than usual. Demagogues do sure love themselves some sport.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

The only thing individual sport loves more than a dominant champion is a dominant rivalry.<\/strong> If Sinner wins here, though, we\u2019ll be forced to wonder if, though Alcaraz is going away from the pack, he\u2019s going away from Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

On the same topic, here\u2019s Calvin Betton, our resident coach.<\/strong> \u201cNothing at all to add really since Wimbledon. Same stuff. They\u2019ll both blast away, whoever plays better will win. One of them will try a drop shot or a serve and volley and people will get excited that it\u2019s a tactical move. It\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Where is the match? <\/strong>On a hard court, if Sinner can get on top of the bounce, he\u2019s hard to stop because his groundstrokes are so reliable and so true. He has, though, had trouble against players who unleash on the forehand \u2013 Dimitrov, Bublik \u2013 but are canny on the back, their slicing forcing him to dig out responses.<\/p>\n

Sinner, meanwhile, will look to put Alcaraz under constant pressure, standing on the baseline while cramping him for room and time. If his second serve is firing, it\u2019ll take something serious to deny him.<\/p>\n

Preamble<\/h2>\n

Yes yes y\u2019all, and welcome to the US Open 2025 \u2013 day 15!<\/p>\n

It feels like we\u2019ve been here before, doesn\u2019t it? For the third grand slam in a row and for the first time ever in an open-era calendar year, the same players meet to decide which of them takes home the big pot, just as we knew they would. We invite sport into our lives because we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen, except in men\u2019s tennis we now know exactly what\u2019s going to happen: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will beat whoever is put in front of them, handily. There is no sign whatsoever that this will stop being the case anytime in the next decade.<\/p>\n

But though it might feel like we\u2019ve been here before, verily we have not. Each time these two play, they grow, and each time they play each other they\u2019re telling us a new story, a fresh mesh of styles and characters demanding we conceive of them and ourselves differently.<\/p>\n

The pair are easy to characterise. Sinner is even, flowing, and predictable, doing things you can\u2019t believe but can predict: he picks the right shot even if it\u2019s the hardest shot, then executes with style and poise that is perfect. Alcaraz, on the other hand, is capricious, extravagant and visionary, doing things you can neither predict nor believe: technically he is impure but mentally he is unique, conjuring angles and trajectories geometry has yet to discover, perfect because of his imperfections.<\/p>\n

In individual sport, players come and go, so to sustain us, we need them to stand for something, and we will, all of us, have a favourite in the fight: the one who is closer to expressing who we are or, if we\u2019re honest with ourselves, who we\u2019d like to be. The reality, though, is a little more nuanced. Unlike, say, Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, these two aren\u2019t sticking to their given identity partly to spite the other, nor are they, like, say, Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker, continuing to do what they do in the belief that if they do it well, it will be enough. Rather they are studying each other and, more particularly, studying themselves in the light of each other, rethinking and remodelling as they go. So Sinner is now fitter and more daring, while Alcaraz is less impetuous and error-prone; their rivalry is not a series but a serial, with character driving plot not the other way around.<\/p>\n

There\u2019 s a notion that Sinner\u2019s Wimbledon win evidenced him moving clear \u2013 a hard court suits his organised power-game, just as the variable, lower bounce on grass and clay works better for Alcaraz, so if he\u2019s winning on one of his less natural surfaces, he is likely to be impregnable on the one that seems made for him. On the other hand, Alcaraz has developed a new consistency which, when added to his artistic gifts and preternatural timing, means that if he plays close to his best, he\u2019s close to unbeatable.<\/p>\n

Which is to say though previously we knew what was going to happen, presently we\u2019ve not a clue what\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s time to settle in and find out.<\/p>\n

Play: 2pm local, 7pm BST<\/strong><\/p>\n
