Sinner expressed his excitement, stating, “I think five straight Grand Slam finals, it’s something great. The consistency and putting myself there in the later stages of the biggest tournaments we have, it’s amazing.” He added, “I would have never thought that I would make this when I turned pro, and now I find myself here.” He also mentioned the significance of facing Alcaraz, saying, “On court we like to see each other, you know, because it means that considering our ranking, it means that we are doing well in the tournament.” Reflecting on the final, Sinner commented, “Sunday is a very special day and an amazing final again.
