Alcaraz v Sinner, I'm all in, what a great rivalry in the making,
this could have gone either way. Absolutely insane, quality match, both laying it all out there to the last.
Stops 3 Championship Points against World#1...
Carlitos, what a comeback!

edit:
At 5 hours & 29 minutes, the longest RG final in history, and apparently the SECOND LONGEST Grand Slam final in the Open Era
The only match to go longer was Djokovic vs. Nadal at 5 hours & 53 minutes in the 2012 Australian Open.

TURIN, Italy (AP) — An undefeated run to the ATP Finals trophy later this year will result in a paycheck of more than $5 million — slightly more than what Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka earned for their U.S. Open titles this month.

The exact amount for an undefeated run at the year-ending event for the top-eight players is $5,071,000, the ATP announced. That’s an increase on the $4,881,100 that Jannik Sinner earned when he went undefeated at last year’s ATP Finals.

ATP Finals champion could earn more than $5 million; with nearly $1 million for doubles winners
