The match began in a predictable fashion, meaning those who held the serve, were on top in the game. Alcaraz, who started with the serve, showed his might before Sinner finally found a break point and turned the tide of the game in his favour. Alcaraz then changed his gears and claimed the opening set by 6-4 margin.
The Italian however remained unfazed and playing his quick game, took the second set by 6-4. There was no looking back for the Italian after this as he then went onto claim the next two sets despite a neck and neck battle and eventually sealed a win to get his fourth Grand Slam title.
