Carlos Alcaraz is hoping to end Jannik Sinner’s dominance of hard-court Grand Slam tournaments as the pair prepare for another potential title battle here at the US Open. 

World No. 1 and defending champion, Sinner, has not lost a Grand Slam hard-court match since being ousted in the fourth round of the US Open by Alexander Zverev two years ago. 

World No. 2 Alcaraz, who beat Sinner in the Cincinnati Open final last Monday when the ailing Italian retired in the first set while trailing 0-5, said on Saturday that ending Sinner’s Grand Slam streak would be great.
