World number one Jannik Sinner has advanced to the US Open final, setting up a historic showdown against rival Carlos Alcaraz.
This will be the third consecutive Grand Slam final between the two young stars, a first in the Open era.
Sinner, 24, overcame an injury scare to defeat Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
The win caps a remarkable year for Sinner, who has now reached all four Grand Slam finals, winning titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
Meanwhile, world number two Carlos Alcaraz booked his place in the final by defeating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2.
Alcaraz, who has yet to drop a set in the tournament, is aiming for his second US Open title and sixth Grand Slam overall.
The championship match on Sunday is not just for the US Open trophy; it will also decide the year-end number one ranking.
The fierce rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz continues to dominate men’s tennis, as they prepare for a final that will likely define the season.
