Sinner entered the Rome Masters with the goal of proving his form after a 3-month ban for doping. However, his strength was still shown to be extremely overwhelming against all opponents. The journey to the final of the host country's tennis player went smoothly when he only lost 1 set in the semi-finals.

As for Carlos Alcaraz, the Spaniard is no slouch either. Alcaraz advanced to the final after convincing victories over two opponents in the world's top 10, Jack Draper and Lorenzo Musetti.

In terms of head-to-head history, Alcaraz is dominating with 6 wins in 10 matches against Sinner. Notably, Alcaraz has won all three recent encounters between the two in 2024.

However, Sinner was the winner in their only confrontation on clay (Croatia Open 2022).

Although Alcaraz has the advantage in history and is considered one of the best players on clay at the moment, Sinner's current form cannot be underestimated as the world number 1 is showing incredible confidence and stability.

In addition, Jannik Sinner will have a big advantage when competing at home with enthusiastic cheers from the audience. This is a great spiritual motivation for the Italian tennis player.

This is only the first time that both players have qualified for the Rome Masters final, an ATP Masters 1000 level tournament. Therefore, they will definitely play with great determination.

The match is expected to be very tight and may extend to the third game. Sinner will try to take advantage of home field advantage and the excitement from the consecutive winning streak. On the other side, Alcaraz will rely on his experience in confrontation and the diversity in his playing style to hope to defeat Sinner right on his home field.
