What could be more logical, if the final of the tournament brought together the best players of the season, seeing the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 go head-to-head? Not much, especially considering the terrible gap between the two current monsters of men’s tennis, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, and the rivalry that never manages to shake them, week after week.
This Saturday, in the semifinals in Turin, it was Felix Auger-Aliassime and (6-2, 6-3) and Alex de Minaur (7-5, 6-2) respectively who exploded on the run, like all the other Spaniards and Italians during this Italian week.
Let’s not shy away from our enjoyment: after the epic Roland-Garros final, which is still fondly remembered, this will be the sixth match between the two men this season, whenever they have reached the final. And the Spaniard leads 4-1 in this match, which will see him win Roland-Garros and the US Open, when Sinner duels in the Wimbledon final, for the most important tournament.
