Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have come face-to-face in Cincinnati for the first time since their Wimbledon final clash last month. After skipping the National Bank Open in Toronto, the world’s two best players will return to action this week in America as they build towards this month’s US Open.

Carlos Alcaraz recalled the Wimbledon final he lost to Jannik Sinner, a match where the Italian ended a five-match losing streak against the Spaniard. Alcaraz, 22, failed to defend the title he won in 2023 and 2024 and saw Sinner end his 20-match winning streak at the All England Club.
