(Reuters) - Italian Jannik Sinner described Friday's comeback victory over top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open as one of the best of his career, saying the contest between the budding rivals displayed high levels of intensity.

Tenth seed Sinner defeated defending champion Alcaraz 6-7(4) 6-4 6-2 in an epic semi-final duel, ending the Spaniard's reign at the top of the rankings, with Novak Djokovic set to take over on Monday.
