Alcaraz Beats Sinner to Win US Open, Reclaim No. 1 at 22

After targeted work since Wimbledon, a remodeled serve with greater variety now fuels his push toward a career Grand Slam with the Australian Open next.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old won 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 for his second US Open crown and sixth major, dethroning Jannik Sinner in New York.
  • The result returns Alcaraz to ATP world No. 1 on Monday and moves his rivalry lead over Sinner to 10-5.
  • His camp and independent analysis credit a revamped serve and broader tactics, with Alcaraz broken only three times across the tournament.
  • This was their third consecutive Grand Slam final, and the duo have now combined to win the last eight majors.
  • Security for President Donald Trump delayed the start by about 30 minutes, and reports say Alcaraz will skip the upcoming Davis Cup qualifiers.
