Sinner overthrows Alcaraz
In the first set, both players made the most of their service games. Sinner and Alcarez had many powerful serves to score direct points or make their opponents make mistakes.
After the first 8 games, the two players tied 4-4. In the next 2 games, Alcaraz was the braver one to break (win the game in which the opponent serves) and won 6-4.
The Spaniard's performance was so impressive that the Guardian exclaimed: "Is he for real?".
The defeat in set 1 did not deter Sinner. In set 2, the Italian player started better, maintaining his usual stability and continuously leading, 4-3 then 5-4. Alcaraz also made many mistakes, even losing 2 consecutive points due to double faults.
In the deciding game, Sinner played extremely well, continuously winning points in situations where Alcaraz seemed to have won. The number 1 seed's running forehands and backhands were extremely accurate and surprised his opponent. As a result, Sinner won 6-4 and tied the score at 1-1.
The scenario at the beginning of set 3 was similar to set 1 when the two players tied 4-4, neither player lost a break after 8 games. But the next part was different. In the 9th game, Sinner impressively broke and then, he made good use of his serve game to win 6-4 in the pivotal set.
At this time, the world number 1 tennis player is only 1 set away from the Wimbledon championship.
The victory in set 3 seemed to give Sinner more confidence. He got a break early in set 4 and continuously maintained a 2-point gap: 3-1, 4-2 and then 5-3. Alcaraz gave himself a little hope of defending his Wimbledon title when he made good use of his serve game, reducing the score to 4-5. But that hope was soon extinguished.
In the 10th game, when Sinner served, the Spaniard was behind 15-40. In the decisive game, Sinner served and won the championship point. In the end, he defeated his great rival with a score of 3-1.
