The super talents fight for the semi-finals

It is a duel that electrifies the masses. A duel that has already happened twice this season. And a match that will shape the future of tennis. All tennis experts agree on this: the duel between the level-headed South Tyrolean and the fiery Spaniard from Murcia. Given that, it's no surprise that US Open organizers scheduled Wednesday's match as the last at Arthur Ashe Stadium. For South Tyrol's tennis fans it's time to set the alarm. The two protagonists will not enter the largest tennis stadium in the world with 2.30 seats before 23:771 a.m. (CEST).

Both Sinner and Alcaraz will welcome the appointment, as they played a real marathon match in the round of 3. The man from Sexten had to do 48:3 hours of hard work against Ilya Ivashka, Alcaraz even needed 56:2.24 hours to put Marin Cilic in his place. The match between the Spaniard and the Croatian only ended at XNUMX:XNUMX a.m. local time. So the players don't have much time to regenerate and compete in full possession of their powers.

In any case, two of the players of the year meet at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center: Although Alcaraz won the significantly larger and more important titles compared to Sinner (including the Masters tournaments in Miami and Madrid), Simone Vagnozzi's protégé did well performed better in the Grand Slams – and won the direct duels. If Alcaraz forced Sinner to his knees in two hard-fought sets at the Masters 1000 in Paris last year, the South Tyrolean took revenge this year with prestigious victories at Wimbledon and in the final of the ATP 250 tournament in Umag. Much pressure Alcaraz has 48 wins in the current season, Sinner, who has played fewer tournaments, celebrated 42 successes. It's difficult to pick a favorite for the game. What is certain, however, is that both go into the match with a fair amount of pressure. If Alcaraz could become the new number 1 in the world with an advance to the final, Sinner is dependent on the world ranking points that guarantee the semi-finals. Otherwise, the air is getting thinner and thinner when it comes to qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin. Either way: The fans in Arthur Ashe and in front of the screens can look forward to a spectacular match.
