No. 1 Sinner in fifth straight Slam final and relishes another 'special' Alcaraz clash
-
NEW YORK ― Reigning champion Jannik Sinner expects another "special" occasion when he plays Carlos Alcaraz for the US Open title on Sept. 7, after the Italian reached his fifth successive Grand Slam final.
The world No. 1 beat Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals on Sept. 5 and is chasing a fifth career Major after joining Rod Laver, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic as the only men to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a season.
"I think five straight Grand Slam finals, it's something great. The consistency and putting myself there in the later stages of the biggest tournaments we have, it's amazing," said Sinner.
"I would have never thought that I would make this when I turned pro, and now I find myself here."
His world No. 1 ranking will also be at stake on Sept. 7 when he faces his great rival Alcaraz of Spain for the third consecutive Grand Slam final.
Sinner, 24, captured the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles this season but lost to the 22-year-old Alcaraz in an epic five-set battle at the French Open.
