These two are right now at a different level. Sorry for the field.
Overall I agree with you, but I don't think this tournament is the best example. Alcaraz was down match point in the second set to Hurkacz and down 4-1 in the second-tiebreak before rallying to win. I know it's cool and all to believe he was never going to lose when he wins a match like that, but the reality is he was one mistake or one Hurkacz big shot away from going out.
I am confident Alcaraz and Djokovic will meet in the US Open final, but Alcaraz will have to play better than he did in Cincinnati. Sinner, Hurkacz and several other players will have a chance to knock him off ie he does not raise his game, which I think he will.
