Sinner is hoping to secure his sixth win over AlcarazCredit: GettyWhat is the head-to-head record between Sinner and Alcaraz?<\/p>\n

Going into Monday’s final, it is Alcaraz who has the edge over his rival.<\/p>\n

The duo have met 13 times on the court, with Alcaraz winning eight of their encounters.<\/p>\n

In fact, Alcaraz has won five of their last six meetings, one of which was an instant classic in this year’s French Open final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Sinner goes into the Cincinnati Final with the edge given he came back from a set down to beat Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

No matter the outcome of Monday’s final, it marks the first time they have played each other more than three times in a calendar year as it will be their fourth encounter.<\/p>\n

Previously, they had met three times in 2022, 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

On paper, it’s safe to say Sinner has had the easier route than Alcaraz to the final in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

At the tournament, Sinner has not played a single opponent ranked in the top 25.<\/p>\n

In fact, two of his rivals in Cincinatti were ranked outside of the top 100, including his semi-final opponent Terence Atmane who is 136th in the world rankings.<\/p>\n

The highest-ranked rival he faced was Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, who he comfortably dispatched 6-0, 6-2 in the quarter-final.<\/p>\n

Sinner has also not dropped a single set the entire tournament.<\/p>\n

The same could not be said for Alcaraz, who has gone the distance in two of his five games.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he had to overcome<\/a> Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev, who are ranked 11th and 3rd in the world respectively, en route to the final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the fourth time this year, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to do battle in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[12701,870,38837,38838,30114,38834,38835,38836,811,38839,1172,101,118,872,56,54,55,1232,38833],"class_list":["post-75749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-atp-tour","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-head-to-head","tag-carlos-alcaraz-results","tag-cincinnati-masters","tag-cincinnati-masters-final-start-time","tag-cincinnati-masters-prize-money","tag-cincinnati-masters-ranking-points","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-jannik-sinner-results","tag-latest","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-updates","tag-where-to-watch-cincinnati-masters-final"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
