The Italian recovered from losing a first-set tiebreaker by
dominating the final two sets to notch his sixth career victory.
Sinner improved to 2-1 against Alcaraz, also beating him in four
sets in the Wimbledon round of 16 earlier this month.
It was the second straight week in which Alcaraz lost in the
championship match. The Spaniard fell to Italy's Lorenzo Musetti
in the Hamburg Open seven days earlier.
Atlanta Open
Alex de Minaur recorded four aces and converted all four break
points while cruising to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Jenson Brooksby
to win the title in Atlanta for the second time in his career.
He also won in 2019.
The 23-year-old Australian closed the 91-minute match strong by
winning the final four games. He also saved four of five break
points while winning his sixth career title.
Brooksby was playing in his third career ATP final and remains
without a title. The American struggled with his second serve,
winning just three of 16 points.
