Alcaraz and Sinner Set for US Open Final With No. 1 at Stake

The winner will leave New York ranked No. 1 in the world.

Overview

  • - Sunday’s match is their third consecutive Grand Slam final this year after Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and their first US Open title meeting.
  • - Sinner’s 64-week hold on the top ranking is in jeopardy, adding to the pressure on the defending champion in New York.
  • - Alcaraz has not dropped a set en route to the final, has 60 wins and six titles in 2025, and could complete the tournament without losing a set.
  • - Sinner enters as the reigning US Open winner with 2025 titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and he carries a 27-match hard-court Grand Slam win streak that could end.
  • - Alcaraz leads their rivalry overall and in majors (3–1), and Sinner required abdominal treatment in his semifinal after recently retiring in Cincinnati.
