Will Daniil Medvedev win the 20th match in a row? Or can Carlos Alcaraz stop the Russians - and at the same time become number one in the world again?

In the end, Medvedev stumbled a bit against Frances Tiafoe, needed eight (!) match points to finally win 7:5 and 7:6 (4). But Medvedev was in no danger of losing the match, just like Alcaraz in the 7: 6 (4) and 6: 3 against Jannik Sinner. In the internal balance sheet against Sinner, the Spaniard had a 3-2 win.
There are almost no reference points for the big showdown: Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz have only played against each other once. Medvedev won in three sets at Wimbledon in 2021. Daniil Medvedev could win the fourth tournament in a row after triumphs in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai. Carlos Alcaraz was already successful in Buenos Aires after his comeback this year.
