The 6-4, 6-3 victory set up a final showdown with Cincinnati Final is set to take place on Monday; this match marks their fourth consecutive meeting in a tournament final. Sinner won their most recent encounter at Wimbledon, where the Italian defeated Alcaraz. 'It was a very, very tough challenge. Every time you play against something completely new, it's difficult, but playing against this guy in the later stages of a tournament is even more difficult. The pressure is higher, and you know they deserve to be there… He has beaten incredible players throughout his wins," Sinner said as quoted from the ATP Tour website. 'It's never easy playing against someone that you know is not feeling 100 per cent. It's even tougher when it comes from Sascha, such a great player, such a great person off the court. We have a really good relationship," Alcaraz said. Earlier, Alcaraz booked his semifinal spot in a nervy, error-filled outing against Andrey Rublev. The number two in the world has seen his share of highs and lows in the tournament.

Matthew Tkachuk injury update: Panthers star unlikely to sit out full season despite surgery option and Olympic concerns
Matthew Tkachuk is contemplating surgery, potentially sidelining him for the start of the season (Getty Images) Matthew Tkachuk, the Florida Panthers forward faces an uncertain start to the season as he weighs potential surgery, but a full-year absence appears unrealistic. With Olympic ambitions, competitive drive, and Florida's roster depth, the expectation is a midseason return rather than sitting out the entire regular campaign. Matthew Tkachuk expected to miss months but not entire season Matthew Tkachuk gutted through a torn adductor and sports hernia to help the Florida Panthers repeat as Stanley Cup champions, even scoring the Game 6 clincher against the Edmonton Oilers. As training camp nears, he's acknowledged that surgery remains on the table — a choice that could sideline him for the opening months. That has sparked armchair plans for a Nikita Kucherov–style long-term injured reserve maneuver, keeping Tkachuk out until the playoffs. Sportsnet's Michael Amato poured cold water on that idea, noting the 2026 Olympic break changes the calculus: 'The flaw with that theory is that the Olympics are in February and there's no way Tkachuk would sit out if he can get himself healthy,' he wrote. The Tkachuk brothers also showed at the 4 Nations Face-Off that they don't pass up USA–Canada chapters. The real timeline: months, not the whole season — and why Florida can still survive the gap A clearer range came from Frank Seravalli's notebook, which pegged recovery at 'three to five months.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Paras Sector 59 Gurgaon | Luxury Awaits at Paras Floret Paras The Florett Book Now Undo If Tkachuk opts for surgery around camp, that projects a return somewhere between late winter and early spring — disruptive, yes, but hardly a season-long exile. In the meantime, Florida can lean on its layered spine and bank the cap flexibility from LTIR to add stopgaps, then reinsert a fully weaponized Tkachuk for the stretch run. Tkachuk himself hasn't slammed the door on an earlier window, telling ESPN's Greg Wyshynski he is 'still hoping to hit the ice as soon as possible,' adding: 'If I do get the surgery, it definitely will be the first two, maybe three months (of the season) if that's the case. But it's still undecided at this point.' Also Read: 'I deserve a chance': Nazem Kadri fires back after Hockey Canada camp exclusion, cites career-best season and experience July offered a human snapshot of where his head and heart are. During his Cup day in St. Louis, Tkachuk visited St. Louis Children's Hospital and local first responders before celebrating with his family. At the police station, he quipped, 'Hopefully that's my last time in a cell unless it's with the Cup again another time.' That blend of competitiveness and community is exactly why a voluntary year-long sit-out never passed the smell test. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
