2025 Cincinnati Open final \u2013 Sinner most recent victor, Alcaraz dominant in hard court battles<\/p>\n
It has been 36 days since the pair met in the Wimbledon final, where Sinner claimed his first SW19 triumph ending a year-and-a-half winless streak against the Spaniard.<\/p>\n
The Italian came through three hours with a clinical serve to dethrone Alcaraz, frustrated yet gracious in defeat, his first in a Grand Slam final no less.<\/p>\n
Now Sinner will feel even more confident as he returns to his dominant surface: the hard court. He is unbeaten on the surface in the 2025 season, not losing on hard since the 2024 Beijing Open final \u2013 to Alcaraz.<\/p>\n
Indeed, it is the world no. 2 who has a superior head-to-head record on hard courts, winning five of the seven encounters with Sinner. That includes their two most recent matches, where the Spaniard will be keen to make it a hat-trick.<\/p>\n
