Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium to claim his sixth Grand Slam in their third straight major final.
• The victory returns Alcaraz to world No. 1 on Monday and ends Sinner’s 27‑match winning streak at hard‑court Grand Slams.
• Analysts flagged Sinner’s serve inconsistency, noting he lost 42% of points on serve as Alcaraz converted five of 11 break chances and was broken once.
• USTA set a record $90 million purse, with $5 million to each singles champion, though reports say taxes and team fees will markedly cut the winner’s net payout.
• Security for President Trump’s attendance delayed the start by about 30 minutes, and Alcaraz later said he felt “scared” before sealing the match on a third championship point.
