Alcaraz Beats Sinner to Win US Open, Reclaims No. 1 With Sixth Major

Their third straight Grand Slam final underscored a generational duel that has monopolized the year’s majors.

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to capture his second US Open and sixth Grand Slam title.
  • The victory returns Alcaraz to the top of the ATP rankings, unseating Sinner, who was attempting to defend his New York crown.
  • This was the pair’s third consecutive major final of 2025, a rarity not seen in men’s tennis since 1964.
  • Alcaraz reached the final without dropping a set and advanced by beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets, while Sinner topped Félix Auger-Aliassime in four.
  • The match start was delayed about 30 minutes as security for President Donald Trump’s visit slowed spectator entry at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
