This is a long -awaited performance: No. 1 Pronounced sinner And number 2 Carlos Alakraj On Sunday, the French Open Mains will face for the title. Both have combined to win the last five major companies, but have never played each other in the finals. And, until this point, both have won every final: Alkaraz is 4–0; Sinner 3-0.

Who will be strong? Our experts weigh how each can pull a win.

What can Alakraj do to defeat a sinner?

Rene Stubs, Use your athleticism and motion in protecting defense and suppressing disappointing sinners. He should use his variety to take the sinner to some parts of the court, he is not as comfortable, especially with his drop shot, and be prepared to come to the net and rush cinnar.

Simon Cambers: Well, he needs to do what he has done in his four most recent meetings: play well and play for your strength. Alkaraj took a 2–1 lead over Clay, winning the semi-finals in Rome last year and recently. He has an edge on the surface, where his forehand is elevated and where he can transfer his opponents to a better way around the court.

The rallies will be long and explosives, but their better all-round game-pepper shots, angles, net play-will give them an edge until he serves well, of course against Mussetti in Semi. He would also like to make the match physical. The sinner is incredibly strong, but some people can manage some people with Alakraj with more than four or five hours of clases, and the spaniyard will run down everything.

D’Arcy Maine: Alakraj has a lot to enter this final. In addition to being a defending champion and playing the final in the final in the final in Rolland Garos, he has won his last four meetings and his previous two on Clay. In his 7-6 (5), three weeks ago, winning 6–1 in the Italian Open final, Alakraj called his performance “one of the best”, which he played and spoke proudly about his ability to focus on his game plan till the last point.

He will need to do the same thing again, using his diversity and materiality, patiently to strike his spots and change the speed. While Sinner seems to have not missed a beat in his return from three months of suspension, he has so far played more than three set matches since the fourth round at the Australian Open. The longer the match is, the more it is in favor of Alakraj – and it will definitely be well aware of it.

Bill Conline: Keep walking for this. Alkaraj has won four consecutive wins in this series, and the last three have come up with the ability to hit the winners against the rapid defense of Alkaraz’s faster the sinner. Thus so far at the French Open, opponents have hit the winners against the sinner on 15% marks. Especially in his previous three meetings, Alakraj hit the winners at 22.3% points in the last year’s French Open Semi -final, 21.8% in Beijing last October, and after a vigilant first set in the second set in Rome last month, after 22.5%.

Anyone who wins small points wins in this series, and Alakraj has succeeded in turning tables in that regard. He is the only player to beat a sinner since last August, and it clearly takes his best aggressive game to complete the work.

What can a sinner do to defeat Alkaraz?

Stabs: Use his power and press the Alakraj Fourhand. He cannot allow Alakraj to decide. It is mandatory to keep the ball as deep as possible to control points. And he must have a high percentage of the first work.

shield: Sinner looks great to reach the finals without leaving a set, and has created that aura of invincibility to win his 20 straight Grand Slam match. However, he will need to serve very well against Alakraj, as Alakraj will take advantage of anything less on returns.

Sinner kills the ball so hard that if he is on his game, he can make a hole in Alkaraz, more than someone else, but he will really need to be patient because Alakraj will get back more balls than all his other opponents. Sinner will also know about Alkaraz’s destructive forehand, so expect them to black pepper to Alkaraz’s backhand and wait for a small ball. If he can do those things, the sinner has a good chance.

I have: Sinner has not yet left a set for a reason in this tournament, and he has been all rock-solids. Also against Novak jokovichHe remained focused on his game and showed his veins of steel in the tiebreak of the third set.

This measured composer and unfilcy in the biggest moments will be important on Sunday. If Alakraj shows an indication of the veins, the sinner will have to capitalize. They also have to find a way to neutralize Alakraj’s blistering movement and the ability to return to each ball.

As Simon said, he should have a strong serving performance and Alakraj should not give the opportunity of easy points. The Italian Open marked back the first tournament of Sinner and has certainly improved with only every match. Would anyone be surprised to see him taking even more steps on Sunday?

Connelly: I agree that his first service is very large-a lot of Mrs. for the first time against Papi Djokovic (especially in the first half of the match) got away with Mrs. for the first time, and it’s not a well you want to immerse often. But the key against Alakraj can come on the service of Alakraj: Papar is 4-3 against Alakraj when he wins at least 37% and 0-5 of Alkaraz’s service points when he does not. He has approved 37% only once while losing his four-loves to Alakraj, and so he has faced far more brake points (38) than (22). In a fight (and a game!) That comes down to such a small margin, he allowed Alkaraj to move forward in the service department. It will probably need to change on Sunday.

Who will win?

Stabs: Sinner. I think he is playing as well as I have ever seen, his record in big companies has been incredible, and I think it is his time to defeat Alakraj in a big match. I think their level this tournament has been as good as I have ever seen him on clay. Sinner in four sets.

shield: Alakraj Grand Slam is 4–0 in the final and the sinner is 3–0, so it is found to give something. These two usually bring the best in each other, and tennis can be luxurious. But on the clay, where he has a slight extra time to chase the ball, Alakraj has a slight increase. He can win it in four or five sets.

I have: Alakraj in four sets. He has done such an impressive season on the clay and knows how to beat the sinner on the surface. It is his title to win. And not to mention, as mentioned by Bastian fasting on xThat will be an accurate age – Day — As Rafael Nadal When he won his fifth chief. This is luck, isn’t it?

Connelly: I am choosing a sinner because overall, he is the best player in the world right now (my goodness, it was watching Djokovic emptying his tricks bag and failed to win a set against him on Friday). It is easy to see why the edge can be in Alkraj, especially on the soil, but even when Alakraj has beaten the sinner, the difference between the players has been infinite. As far as my question is, this is a coin toss, and if other tails are raising, I am raising my head!
