Alcaraz broke Sinner's opening serve to take a
2-0 lead, and Sinner fought off two break points in the third
game to avoid going down 3-0 in the first set of the match,
which lasted just short of two hours. The players were back on
track at 3-3, and with no further service breaks, the match went
to the tiebreak.
Sinner converted five of eight break chances, while the Spaniard
cashed in on just two of nine.
In head-to-head competition, Sinner leads Alcaraz 4-3 and is the
first player with four tour wins against the Spaniard. Sinner
will rise to No. 4 in the next ATP rankings.
Against Medvedev, Sinner will be seeking his third ATP singles
title of 2023 and ninth of his career. Medvedev, with the win
over Zverev, advanced to his eight tour final of the season. He
has won a career-high five on the season.
Medvedev improved to 10-7 against Zverev, including 4-1 this
season.
Astana Open
Adrian Mannarino came from a set back to defeat Sebastian Korda,
4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, in Kazakhstan.
He became the first man from France to win more than one ATP
tournament in a season and earned his fourth career title in two
hours and 10 minutes.
He also won in Newport this year.
Korda was seeking his first tournament title since 2021, when he
won in Parma.
