Sinner* 4-6, 6-4, 0-1 Alcaraz
Not a great start to this third set for Carlos Alcaraz. He batters a fairly routine backhand long and then double faults. He needs to be careful because Jannik Sinner ended that second set very much on top and he is playing with so much confidence…
Alcaraz wins the next point with a backhand volley at the net but then double faults again! Double break point for Sinner.
There we go. Alcaraz saves the first with a thumping 137mph ace down the T. And he saves the second by punching a forehand right onto the baseline which even a sliding Sinner can’t magic back over the net.
He wins the next two points, too, for a gutsy hold. Another ace, his 11th of the match, wins him the game.
