3 hours 20 minutes of fun
The long-awaited duel between the two tennis juggernauts kept all its promises. Jostled at the start of the match, trailing 5-2 in the first set, Jannik Sinner defeated his Spanish opponent in the tie-break, 7-6 (6), before dropping the second set 6-4.
In the 3e set, the Spaniard thought he had done the hardest part by quickly breaking his opponent (3-1). But as usual, the world No. 1 did not panic to come back to the level and snatch the tie-break, after more than 3 hours of play. Like this incredible final, the tie-break was was full of suspense: Alcaraz erased Sinner’s double mini-break to win 7-6 (3).
