Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to secure his second US Open title and sixth major overall.
  • The victory pushed Alcaraz back to the top of the ATP rankings, dethroning the defending champion from the No. 1 spot.
  • Alcaraz extended his head-to-head lead over Sinner to 10-5, reinforcing a rivalry that has produced the last eight men’s major champions.
  • Sinner’s 27-match winning streak at hard-court Grand Slams ended, halting his bid to repeat as US Open champion.
  • The final began at 2:30 p.m. ET after a security delay linked to President Donald Trump’s attendance, and Alcaraz later praised Sinner with a lighthearted, “I’m seeing you more than my family.”
