Carlos Alcaraz teed up a blockbuster Monte Carlo Masters final with Jannik Sinner as the world's top two players will face off on Sunday for the number one ranking.

It will be the first meeting this season between Alcaraz and Sinner and will decide who will be World No. 1 come Monday when the new ATP rankings are released.

Alcaraz saw off Vacherot 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday to reach his 10th ATP 1000 final and improve his record on clay to 26-1 since the start of last year.

Sinner eased his way into the Monte Carlo final for the first time with a clinical 6-1, 6-4 semi-final win over Alexander Zverev earlier on Saturday.

Sinner will play Alcaraz on clay for the first time since their epic French Open final last year, which the Spaniard won after saving three championship points. (AFP)
