Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to claim a second US Open title and sixth Grand Slam, reclaiming the ATP No. 1 ranking.
• Match data and team accounts credit a markedly stronger serve as decisive, with Alcaraz winning roughly 84% of first‑serve points, landing 76.7% first serves, and being broken only three times all tournament.
• The USTA set a record $90 million purse with a $5 million champion’s check, though U.S. federal and New York state taxes are expected to reduce Alcaraz’s immediate take‑home significantly.
• The victory lifts Alcaraz’s career prize money to about $53.5 million, making him the first player born this century to surpass the $50 million mark.
• Their rivalry defined 2025 with five finals, including three straight at majors, as Sinner vowed tactical adjustments and the final’s start was delayed about 30 minutes due to security for President Trump’s attendance.
