Tennis prodigy Alcaraz overpowers Sinner, securing his second US Open championship title.
Carlos Alcaraz Secures US Open Title and World No. 1 Ranking
In a thrilling finale at the 2025 US Open Tennis Grand Slam in New York City, Carlos Alcaraz clinched the men's singles title, defeating Jannik Sinner in four sets. The victory marked Alcaraz's sixth Grand Slam title and propelled him back to the world No. 1 spot.
The match, played on September 7, 2025, saw Alcaraz end his US Open run with a 13-match winning streak. The young Spanish sensation secured the victory on his third match point, with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 scoreline.
Sinner, who began the Grand Slam season by winning the Australian Open title in January, put up a valiant fight. However, it was Alcaraz who held his nerve, particularly in the crucial moments. Sinner cracked under pressure in the fifth game of the fourth set, handing a crucial break to Alcaraz.
The fourth set was a closely contested affair, with both players showcasing their exceptional skills. Sinner held serve in the opening game with breathtaking volleys, but Alcaraz responded by winning the next five games to take a commanding lead. Sinner saved an early break point in the fourth set, but it wasn't enough to prevent Alcaraz from securing the victory.
Alcaraz's win ended Sinner's 27-match winning streak at hardcourt majors. The Italian had previously beaten Alcaraz to take the Wimbledon crown in July, but lost to him in the epic French Open final in June. Their head-to-head record now stands at 10-5 in favour of Alcaraz.
In the women's singles, Aryna Sabalenka defended her US Open title, defeating Amanda Anisimova in straight sets.
Following his victory, Alcaraz celebrated wildly with his team. He expressed gratitude towards his opponents, team, and supporters in his post-match speech. His win in New York City has further cemented his place as one of the most dominant players in the sport.
With seven titles and only six defeats in 2025, Alcaraz became the second youngest man in the professional era to win six majors, after Bjorn Borg. As he looks ahead to the remainder of the season, Alcaraz will undoubtedly be a formidable force to reckon with.
