Overview

• Alcaraz won 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in their third straight Grand Slam final of 2025, pushing his head-to-head lead to 10-5 and his US Open titles to two.
• He now leads Sinner by 2,590 points in the ATP Live Race with Shanghai, Paris and the ATP Finals still to determine the year-end No. 1.
• The final began about 30 minutes late as fans navigated extra security tied to President Donald Trump’s arrival at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
• Alcaraz said he targeted specific adjustments in training before Cincinnati to counter Sinner and then hit 42 winners to 21 as coach Juan Carlos Ferrero lauded a “perfect” display.
• Sinner called his performance “too predictable” and plans to add variety, while Alcaraz declined that label; the aftermath also included Aryna Sabalenka’s on-air name gaffe and Martina Navratilova’s claim Trump did not clap.
