Alcaraz solo per Sinner: "Non volevo vincere così. I campioni fanno questo e tu..."

Overview

  • The Masters 1000 final ended after about 23 minutes with Alcaraz leading 5-0 when Sinner stopped, saying he felt too sick to move and had been unwell since the day before.
  • Alcaraz claimed the Western & Southern Open for his sixth trophy of the season and the 22nd of his career one week before the US Open.
  • Before the final Sinner held 11,480 ranking points to Alcaraz’s 9,590, and at the US Open Sinner must defend 2,000 points while Alcaraz has 50 to defend.
  • With Cincinnati points added and US Open drops factored, projections place Alcaraz slightly ahead entering New York, 9,540 to 9,480.
  • Both players addressed the crowd with respect as Sinner apologized to fans and Alcaraz wrote “Sorry Jannik” on the camera and said he did not want to win that way.
