Jannik Sinner has gone all the way to the final in his first tournament back from a three-month doping ban. And Carlos Alcaraz is waiting for him in the Italian Open title match. The top-ranked Sinner rallied past No.

ROME — Carlo Alcaraz advanced to his first Italian Open final with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory over Lorenzo Musetti on Friday. It’s the third final in three clay-court events this season for Alcaraz, who won the Monte Carlo Masters and finished runner-up in the Barcelona Open before withdrawing from the Madrid Open because of injury.

Carlos Alcaraz has admitted a final against Jannik Sinner in Rome would be “challenging” as he waits to find out his Italian Open final opponent. The Spaniard booked his spot earlier today with a 6-3 7-6 win over Lorenzo Musetti, and will play the winner of the clash between the world No.1 and Tommy Paul.
