Players on the court
Jannik Sinner entered first, then Carlos Alcaraz. In the reverse order of his ranking, No. 3 and No. 2. The Spaniard will give number two to the Italian if he loses this match. Novak Djokovic will continue as number 1, that he will not play in the next Masters 1000 ATP in Miami.

He is unbeaten in the last 19, on the 16th of 2024.
He has not lost since the finals of the ATP Finals in Turin, in November 2023.
This could not be more of a great game
In Carlos Alcaraz, 20 years and world number 2, and Jannik Sinner, 22 years old and number 3, on the track, the show is guaranteed. More so than the current circumstances, where the Spaniard defends his title and second place in the ranking against an unbeaten opponent this season, after becoming the champion of the Australian Open and Rotterdam.
