In the same scenario where three years earlier won the first Grand Slam title and secured the rise to the top of the world ranking for the first time, Carlos Alcaraz revived the same success: he triumphed for the second time at US Open and again assumed himself as the best tennis player of today.
In 2022, the Spanish tennis player’s opponent had been Casper Ruud, who also sought to debut on Palmarés dos majors and the lead in the ATP table; This time, Alcaraz faced rival Jannik Sinner, 65 consecutive weeks in front of the world ranking. But the 22 -year -old Spanish was stronger and, in four setsassured the achievement of the sixth title of the Grand Slam.
Sinner admitted that it was in the fourth fourth of this US Open of 2022-gain by Alcaraz in five setsafter nullifying a match-point – that the rivalry between the two began. And after the exciting Roland-Garros finals, he wins by Alcaraz in five sets (after saving three match-points) And from Wimbledon, wins by the Italian in four matches, it was expected another high-level duel, but Sinner was just below his best, especially in the service chapter, and gave in to two hours and 42 minutes: 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 and 6-4.
The final was postponed half a hour because of the delay in the entry of the thousands of supporters due to the increase in security measures caused by the presence of US President Donald Trump-only the second presidential visit. Alcaraz started the final better with a break in the inaugural game of seven minutes. To give in very few points in the service (three in the whole match), the Spaniard continued to press and Sinner to make some mistakes, resulting in a new break. Serve at 5-3, Alcaraz closed with a blank game.
Sinner faced new break-point soon opening the second setbut rediscovered the first service in time and confidence fired. After the easiest service game so far, Sinner signed two points that raised the stadium and made the breakblank – the third that Alcaraz gave in throughout the tournament. After confirming the advantage to 4-1, Sinner controlled the service games until the set.
In the second game of the third seta mistake from the Italian in half court gave the break The Alcaraz, who again raised the level in service and response. Sinner broke animally and finished the match with only 13 points earned.
As it had been usual, the Italian faced again break-points when it first served in setand annulled two opportunities for break To open the fourth match. But in the fifth game, the “Balance” Sinner/Response Service of Alcaraz, returned to the Spaniard who signed the fifth break. To serve 5-4, the Spaniard saw the rival recover from 40-15, but in the third match-pointa service at 210km/h ended the final, which added 39 winners (Against 20 Sinner) and made 21 unreeded errors (26 of the Italian).
The Spaniard, which had already triumphed here in 2022, in Wimbledon (2023 and 2024) and Roland-Garros (2024 and 2025), is the second youngest to win six Grand Slam titles-just behind Bjorn Borg-and the room to earn more than one major in the three different floors (dirt, grass and hardcourts). And US Open was the eighth major consecutive gain by Alcaraz or Sinner, with the Spaniard leading the current account by 5-3.
