The Italian has won four of the previous seven Major events, with one more final, semi-final and quarter-final on his tally. Sinner is 27-1 at Majors since last year's US Open, suffering the only loss at last month's Roland Garros after blowing away three match points against Carlos Alcaraz.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are now only one major title away from completing the Career Grand Slam. While Sinner is only missing a French Open trophy, Alcaraz needs an Australian Open crown.

This second straight major final between the two entrenches them as world No. 1 and No. 2. It wasn't this way more recently than you think.
