Alcaraz Dominates, But Sinner Fought Back
The final score of 3-1 (6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4) doesn’t fully capture the intensity of the 2-hour and 42-minute battle. Alcaraz showcased an overwhelming offensive performance, racking up 42 winners compared to Sinner’s 21. His precision was remarkable, committing only nine unforced errors throughout the match. While Sinner mounted a strong comeback in the second set, regaining consistency on the baseline and leveling the match, Alcaraz consistently maintained control.
This US Open final marked the third Grand Slam final encounter between Sinner and Alcaraz, a rivalry that is quickly becoming one of the most compelling in the sport. Sinner’s attempt to secure back-to-back US Open titles and potentially become the seventh player in the Open Era to win three Grand Slam singles in a single season was ultimately thwarted by Alcaraz’s relentless aggression.
A Historic Victory and a Return to No. 1
Alcaraz’s triumph halts Sinner’s impressive 27-match winning streak in hard-court major competitions. More importantly, it signifies Alcaraz’s return to the world No. 1 ranking, which will be officially confirmed on Monday. This win also makes him the second-youngest player to achieve six major titles in men’s singles, a testament to his extraordinary talent and potential. He first claimed the US Open title in 2022, and has now emphatically reclaimed his position as a dominant force in the sport.
Beyond the Scoreboard: A Match of Champions
The atmosphere at the US Open final was electric, drawing in a star-studded crowd including NBA superstar Stephen Curry and rock legend Bruce Springsteen. The presence of such high-profile figures underscored the global appeal and cultural significance of the event.

The Rise of Alcaraz: A New Era in Tennis?
Alcaraz’s aggressive playing style, characterized by powerful rallies and strategic shot-making, proved too much for Sinner to handle.
