Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz Live Streaming: When and where to watch Cincinnati Open final
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner (Agency Photos) Within just three months, modern tennis fans are being treated to yet another blockbuster showdown between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The two young superstars, who have already delivered unforgettable battles in Rome, at Roland Garros, and at Wimbledon this season, will now collide in the championship clash of the Cincinnati Open. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has looked unstoppable this week, storming into his eighth ATP Masters 1000 final without dropping a single set. The Italian extended his win streak on grass to 26 matches and dismantled French qualifier Terence Atmane in the semifinals. Atmane's fairytale run, which included wins over Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune, ended at the hands of Sinner's relentless consistency. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Sinner, who captured the Wimbledon crown last month, admitted that this latest clash promises fireworks: 'It is going to be a very difficult match, but hopefully a very high-level one. For us players, that is important, but also for the people watching.' On the other side of the net, World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz had to endure a tougher road to the final. The defending French Open champion edged past Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals before overcoming Alexander Zverev in a gruelling semifinal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo Alcaraz has already collected five titles this year, including Roland Garros, and now eyes his first-ever Cincinnati trophy. The Spaniard is braced for the challenge: 'It's going to be great. He won the last one, I won the first two finals. This is the first final between us on hard courts this year, so I'm excited. Jannik is probably the best player in the world right now, so I have to be ready.' Both men are already confirmed for the ATP Finals in Turin, but this match carries huge weight in the year-end No. 1 race. Sinner trails Alcaraz by 1,540 points and can close the gap with victory. A win for Alcaraz, however, would not only secure his first Cincinnati crown but also extend his lead and avenge last year's heartbreaking final loss to Novak Djokovic. Q: Who is playing in the Cincinnati Open final? The 2025 Cincinnati Open final will see World No. 1 Jannik Sinner take on World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in yet another chapter of their thrilling rivalry. Q: When and where can I watch it? The final is scheduled for 00:30 a.m. IST on Tuesday and will be streamed live on SonyLIV. Q: How have Sinner and Alcaraz performed this season? Both players are in sensational form. Sinner has already lifted the Wimbledon trophy this year and comes into the final unbeaten in the tournament, while Alcaraz has collected five titles in 2025, including the French Open. Q: What has been Sinner's road to the final? Sinner has been flawless, not dropping a single set en route to the title match. He ended French qualifier Terence Atmane's dream run in the semifinals, after Atmane had stunned Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune earlier in the week. Q: And what about Alcaraz's path? Alcaraz had a tougher journey. He battled past ninth seed Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals and then defeated Alexander Zverev in the semifinals. Despite dropping two sets overall, the Spaniard has shown grit and championship mentality. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Harbhajan Singh: 'Don't underestimate Shubman Gill, he can dominate T20Is too'
India's player of the series India's captain Shubman Gill on day five of the fifth cricket test match between England and India at The Kia Oval in London, Monday, Aug. 4, 2025. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth) NEW DELHI: The Asia Cup 2025 India squad is set to be announced, and the burning question is whether Test captain Shubman Gill will find a place in the team. With India's T20I batting lineup already packed with hard-hitters like Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, captain Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, the selectors face a 'sweet headache' when it comes to Gill's inclusion. India's top six T20I batters boast impressive strike rates: Abhishek Sharma (193.84), Suryakumar Yadav (167.07), Yashasvi Jaiswal (164.31), Hardik Pandya (141.67), Tilak Varma (155.07), and Sanju Samson (152.38). Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In comparison, Gill has played 21 T20Is so far, with a strike rate of 139.27. So, will the selectors still back Shubman? Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh , who has closely observed Gill, strongly believes the youngster deserves a place in the squad. 'In the T20 format, it's important to understand that it's not just about big hitting. If Shubman decides to attack, he can match anyone, because he is a very solid player with strong basics. A batter with such a strong foundation can score runs in any format," Harbhajan told in an exclusive interview. "If you look at the IPL, Shubman has scored runs every season. He has worn the Orange Cap — and that doesn't happen by chance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SRM Online MBA – Empowering Future Leaders SRM Online Enquire Now Undo And it's not like he bats only at a strike rate of 120 or 130; he can also bat at a strike rate of 160," he added. "Yes, we do have players like Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma, but you cannot undermine or underestimate Shubman Gill. He is a very talented batter who can adapt to any format. He is an all-format player. In my opinion, he can play T20s and even dominate the format. We as fans are used to seeing fours and sixes every ball, but you also need batters who can play long innings and rescue the team when required,' Harbhajan said. When asked to name his 15 for the Asia Cup, which is set to be picked on Tuesday, Harbhajan replied: "I think the squad should be: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav – the captain, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag for the middle order, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant.' ' CRICKET NEVER STOPS FOR ANYONE' The Asia Cup will mark India's first major multi-team tournament without stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma . The duo featured in India's previous two global triumphs — the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 — both won under Rohit's leadership. This, as Harbhajan puts it, is the beginning of a new era. 'See, cricket never stops for anyone. Whether we talk about the time of Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, or Sachin Tendulkar, the game has always gone on. Someone or the other comes in and takes the team forward. Right now, the way Shubman Gill and his team-mates have played in England… Rohit and Virat have left their legacy in the right hands. We have seen the shift happen smoothly. It will be a big tournament that will be played without Virat and Rohit," Harbhajan said. Poll Should Shubman Gill be included in the Asia Cup 2025 squad? Yes, he deserves a spot No, we have better options "The way these youngsters have taken responsibility… I believe this is the natural rule of life — change is inevitable. If there is no change, things become stagnant. Moving forward is always good. And the way Shubman Gill and his team-mates have performed, it's really pleasing to see. "Of course, we have seen this shift earlier as well. When the big players move on, someone else steps up, takes responsibility, and carries the team forward. As long as the team keeps moving in the right direction, that is the main goal. The way Gill and his team have played in England, Rohit and Virat have definitely left their legacy in safe hands,' he added. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
