Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> had a five-match winning streak against Jannik Sinner<\/a> snapped during this year\u2019s Wimbledon final, but the Spaniard is already looking ahead to starting another heater against the World No.1. That might sound like an impossible task to mere mortals, but to Alcaraz, who touts an 8-5 lifetime record against the Italian, you never know.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Monday\u2019s final in Cincinnati, the five-time major champion said he is excited to face Sinner in what will be the pair\u2019s first ever final on a hard court, and their 14th meeting overall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this, if I\u2019m not wrong, it is the first final on hard court,\u201d Alcaraz said. \u201cSo I\u2019m excited about taking that challenge. I know that Jannik, without a doubt, he\u2019s the best player in the world on hard court and probably on every surface right now. So it\u2019s going to be really a great match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be ready for that, seeing what I did wrong in the last match. And I will try to make it better on Monday. I\u2019m just glad to be in another final. I think it\u2019s my seventh in a row, the fourth against Jannik. So it\u2019s going to be a great, great day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Alcaraz: Small Details Count<\/p>\n

Second-seeded Alcaraz says he learns from all of his battles with Sinner, and he is always on the hunt for tactical wrinkles at his rival that might give him an edge. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it is about small, small details,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd obviously I\u2019m learning. I\u2019m learning from every match and playing against him, because from the first match, I\u2019m sure he did too. So after, after every match, we have to rewatch the the match, just to take notes and to see how I can be better, and to see tactically, how should I play and everything, everything like that. And study, you know, his movements, study his tactics, his gameplay, just to come back to another match, being, being a little bit different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked what makes Sinner so difficult as an opponent, Alcaraz said how he manages to deliver top-flight tennis every time they meet, without fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is crazy, the way he always plays at his his best, it seems like you have to earn every point every game. He makes you suffer since the first point of the match, until, until the last, the last ball. The capacity of, you know, being there mentally, point after point, not having up and downs on the on the match makes him is really, really special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Chris Oddo | Sunday August 17, 2025 Carlos Alcaraz had a five-match winning streak against Jannik Sinner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-76392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
