Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Once again, the number one versus the number two in a final, the fourth one in this 2025. This time it will take place at ATP de Cincinnati, where both have once again shown to be the best at adapting to the changing conditions of the Ohio tournament: heat, humidity, wind, rain. No weather element or opponent has managed to get the better of them.

Although that doesn't mean that both haven't had moments of hardship. The Spaniard already had to sweat in his debut to defeat Damir Dzumhur (6-1, 2-6, 6-3), couldn't let his guard down against Hamad Medjedovic (6-4, 6-4) either. And although he found solace with Luca Nardi (6-1, 6-4), he flirted with elimination, but stood firm against an inspired Andrey Rublev (6-4, 3-6, 7-5). Meanwhile, in last night's match against Alexander Zverev, the German's health condition, suffering from heat strokes, paved the way to the seventh consecutive final for the Murcian (6-4, 6-3).

In a similar fashion, the world number one has performed. He strolled past Daniel Galán (6-1, 6-1), withstood the challenge of Gabriel Diallo (6-2, 7-6(8)) and managed to escape in time from the trap set by Adrian Mannarino (6-4, 7-6(4)). In the quarterfinals, he showed his dominance against Félix Auger-Aliassime (6-0, 6-2) and yesterday had the necessary composure to dismantle Terence Atmane in the semifinals (7-6(4), 6-2).

Thus, the new circuit kings collide once again for the fourth time this year, coincidentally all four times in the final, with a positive balance for the Spaniard due to victories in Rome and Roland Garros, but with Sinner's win at Wimbledon as the latest outcome. In London, the world number one broke a streak of five consecutive losses against the Murcian, whom he dominated in the All England Tennis Club final.

Once again, a high-stakes final

Therefore, the Spaniard seeks revenge, although in his on-court interview with TennisTV, he confessed that what he's filled with the most is excitement: "I'm really looking forward to playing against him again. Thanks to him, I bring out the best of myself in tennis. It's great for the fans to watch our matches. We push each other to the limit and offer truly beautiful tennis in the game. I'm ready to face the challenge."

He also stated that he has learned from what happened at Wimbledon: "I'm ready to see what I did wrong in the last match and try to improve on Monday. Tomorrow is a day off. I'll try to adjust my game a bit better to be 100% ready. Mentally and tactically, to be prepared and perfect. Tomorrow is going to be a very good day and I'm excited for Monday."

He also took the time to send some kind words to Zverev: "It's never easy to play against someone you know isn't feeling 100%. It's even harder coming from Sascha, such a great person off the court, with whom I have a very good relationship. It was tough. I think we started the game playing good tennis, but suddenly he started to feel bad, and I focused on how he was feeling instead of focusing on myself and playing good tennis. It was a very difficult situation for me, and I only wish him the best," concluded an Alcaraz who only thinks about his 14th encounter against the number one. Whatever happens, the show is guaranteed with the world's top two tennis players.
