Alcaraz Beats Sinner to Win US Open, Reclaims World No. 1

Sinner’s misfiring serve proved costly, closing a year of shared majors between the two.

Overview

  • The Spaniard won in four sets to capture his sixth Grand Slam title.
  • He won 112 points to 89, dropped serve only once, and sustained a high pace for nearly three hours.
  • Sinner landed just 48% of first serves, a shortfall repeatedly cited as decisive in the final.
  • With the tournament complete, Alcaraz returns to No. 1 and Sinner moves to No. 2 in the next ATP ranking update.
  • The outcome extends a back-and-forth season between the rivals, with two majors each and a realistic chance for Sinner to chase the top spot later this year despite limited opportunities.
