19. srpna 2025, Cincinnati Cincinnati se stává dějištěm možná nejdůležitějšího finále letošního roku. Jannik Sinner a Carlos Alcaraz se v pondělí utkají v přímém souboji o titul, ale ve hře je mnohem víc - pozice světové jedničky před blížícím se US Open. Souboj o světovou jedničku Matematika bodů v žebříčku přináší fascinující scénáře. Sinner aktuálně vede před Alcarazem o 2 250 bodů v live žebříčku ATP, ovšem obhajuje 2 000 bodů za loňské vítězství na US Open. Alcaraz loni vypadl překvapivě ve 2. kole s pouhými 45 body, což vytváří rozdíl 1 950 bodů z loňského New Yorku. Pokud vyhraje Alcaraz, dostane se na 1 900 bodů od Sinnera, a po odečtení loňských bodů z US Open bude dokonce vést o 50 bodů. Pokud uspěje Sinner, vytvoří si polštář 650 bodů pro New York.
