Jannik Sinner is on a 12-match unbeaten run. The top seed in Cincinnati has reached the finals in his last eight big tournaments. Having won the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and being just one point away from capturing the Roland Garros crown, the 24-year-old is arguably the man to beat on tour. He has a 91% success rate in tour-level events in 2025 – and two titles to show for it. Sinner’s path to the summit clash included wins over Galan, Diallo, Mannarino, Auger-Aliassime and Atmane.

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes 🎂 Really happy to be back in the finals ❤️🥳 @CincyTennis pic.twitter.com/6CXG6WU2A2

Yet to drop a set all week, Sinner’s time on court is considerably lower in comparison to Alcaraz. The Italian has been serving brilliantly, and his baseline game is second to none. Alcaraz will hope to have a better outing on serve after the disaster at Wimbledon. He will mix things up with drop shots and high net clearances. However, we are predicting the World No. 1 to produce an attacking masterclass to outlast Alcaraz in the final.

Prediction: Jannik Sinner in three sets.
