Jannik Sinner books historic US Open final meeting with Carlos Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner will take on Carlos Alcaraz in an historic third straight grand slam final after fighting off the challenge of Felix Auger-Aliassime at the US Open.

For the first time in the open era, two men will meet each other in three major finals in the same season, with Sinner and Alcaraz achieving levels of dominance not even seen at the height of the Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal duopoly.

After Alcaraz comfortably saw off Novak Djokovic, Sinner was given a test by Canadian Auger-Aliassime, who was playing in his second grand slam semi-final, but the world number one pulled away to win 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4.

1 vs 2 for it all
