NEW YORK — This was a match that would not end. Should not end, one might say. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, two of the brightest young stars of men's tennis, traded shots of the highest quality and countless momentum swings across five sterling sets for 5 hours, 15 minutes until Alcaraz finally won the last point at 2:50 a.m. Thursday, the latest finish in US Open history.
Spanish teen sensation Carlos Alcaraz boosted his credentials with an incredible come-from-behind win against Jannik Sinner in a thrilling US Open quarter-final match that lasted over 5 hours and 15 minutes on Thursday. The match saw both players play some incredible tennis, but the shot of the match - and perhaps the tournament - came from Alcaraz in the second set. The 19-year-old first returned Sinner's serve from wide of the court before running across to play an incredible shot from behind his back. Sinner tried to play a drop shot on the volley in response, but Alcaraz was quick to race to the middle and hit a backhand past his Italian opponent.
