Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 in the US Open final to capture his sixth major and return to the top of the ATP rankings.
• Experts including Adriano Panatta highlighted Alcaraz’s broader shot selection, pace and physical recovery, while Sinner struggled on serve with 48% first serves, two aces to Alcaraz’s ten and four double faults.
• Coach Juan Carlos Ferrero said Wimbledon was a turning point and the team used a targeted two‑week block to prepare for Sinner, with a tweaked service motion contributing to 98 holds in 101 service games in New York.
• Sinner acknowledged he was too predictable and plans to adjust aspects of his serve and expand his tactical repertoire, with a return to competition slated for Beijing and then Shanghai as Alcaraz heads to Tokyo before Shanghai.
• Reporting details Alcaraz’s roughly ten‑person support team spanning coaching, fitness, physio and psychology, and notes he will skip Spain’s Davis Cup tie in Marbella after title celebrations in New York.
