New York – Carlos Alcaraz once again proved his dominance on the biggest stage as he defeated Italy’s Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to claim the US Open men’s singles title on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Spaniard displayed a combination of power, precision, and maturity well beyond his years to secure his second Grand Slam triumph of the 2025 season.
This latest win means Alcaraz now owns six career Grand Slam titles, making him the second-youngest player in the Open Era to reach that milestone, just behind the legendary Bjorn Borg. With the victory, he will also reclaim the world number one ranking, returning to the top of the ATP ladder for the first time since September 2023.
The final was another chapter in the rapidly growing rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner, who have shared all eight men’s Grand Slam titles since Novak Djokovic’s US Open success in 2023. Their battles have quickly become some of the most anticipated clashes in tennis, captivating fans worldwide.
During the trophy ceremony, Alcaraz praised his opponent, calling Sinner’s consistency and improvement “remarkable,” while noting their frequent encounters throughout the year. Sinner, gracious in defeat, acknowledged the Spaniard’s brilliance, admitting, “You were better than me today. Enjoy this special moment.”
With his latest triumph, Alcaraz continues to cement his status as the face of the next tennis generation and a true champion of the sport.
