“Sinner and Alcaraz wrote an ode to tennis”

Germany German press agency: “Tennis thriller for the history books. The dramatic quarter-final game will not be forgotten just because of its late time. The two young stars delivered a finale-worthy, almost epic exchange of blows with many brilliant rallies and captivating tension. The tennis world had only rarely seen such a performance from the “Big Three” Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. In the end, Alcaraz brought Sinner to his knees. But both received huge applause for the second-longest match in tournament history.”

Eurosport: “Crazy quarterfinals! What Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner offered the spectators in the Arthur Ashe Stadium was high-speed tennis at its best.”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: “Carlos Alcaraz collapsed onto the blue hard court and, overwhelmed, slapped his hand over his face – despite a world-class performance, Jannik Sinner was left with nothing but pure disappointment.” Italy Sports Gazette: “Jannik and Carlos fought an epic duel, with the Spaniard retaining the upper hand. It's heartbreaking, but there's also good news. Tennis is saved. We can relax, send the phenomena Nadal, Federer and Djokovic into retirement and thank them for the joys they have brought us over the last 20 years. Now they are here, Carlos and Jannik. They thrilled stands and television with an epic match that marked the culmination so far of a rivalry that was only just born. A fight that would test even a marathon runner's coronary arteries. And it’s almost a shame that there can only be one winner.”

Tuttosport: “It was a legendary match (no one had ever played the US Open after 2.30:XNUMX a.m.) that was characterized by constant ups and downs and in which both players never gave up.” Spain Ace: “In tennis, matches are often decided by small, sometimes intangible details that influence the outcome in a player's favor. And there are rivalries in which the psychological component is more important than the purely sporting component. This has been the case with the rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner since 2019, when they faced each other for the first time at the Challenger in Alicante. It’s on its way to being epic.”

Brand: “Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner wrote an ode to tennis on the Arthur Ashe. The two biggest young talents came to show why they are considered the future of tennis. They made it clear to even the biggest skeptics that the future of the sport is in good hands. Furthermore, there is no longer any doubt that both the Spaniard and the Italian are the present.” USA ESPN: “A game that didn't want to end, shouldn't end, you could say. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, two of the biggest young stars in men’s tennis, exchanged blows at the highest level for five hours and 15 minutes.”

New York Times: “It was the late finish at the US Open, held in a city that supposedly never sleeps, but Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were worth staying up until the early hours of the morning. The tension was constant, the quality of the punches and the effort were outstanding. Number three seed Alcaraz and number 11 seed Sinner have long been considered the future of tennis, but after the start of the match on Wednesday night they looked more like the present.”
