5:18 p.m. – In New York, Carlos Alcaraz surprised his fans with a new hairstyle. With a buzzcut, the Spaniard stormed to his sixth Grand Slam title, whereby he only had to give up a single sentence-in the final against the no less superhuman Jannik Sinner.
After the 22-year-old has won the US Open, Alcaraz ventures the next experiment: in the future, the world ranking first will be seen on the court with bleached hair.
2:20 p.m. – What does Alexander Zverev do? After it is finally clear that he will not reach any of his great career goals this year-meanwhile the leap to the top of the ATP ranking and the long-awaited Grand Slam title-the Hamburg-born focuses on his own needs. Accordingly, he canceled the Davis Cup in Japan.
After the immediate departure in Wimbledon, Zverev has started to focus more on mental aspects. In Cincinnati he surprised with extremely reflected statements – excessive hard self -criticism and struggling with external conditions seemed to belong to the past.
With this approach, he also defeated the shaped American Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals-but then Carlos Alcaraz showed him the borders.
Nevertheless, “Sascha” started the US Open with a wide breast. However, the great disappointment followed in the 3rd round: Felix Auger-Alicassime became the end of the 28-year-old.
From a retrospective point of view, it became apparent that the Canadian currently acts at an extremely high level – after all, it was only stopped in Flushing Meadows in the semi -finals by Jannik Sinner. And he was also able to point the South Tyrolean at least in phases.
Regardless of this, Zverev now focuses on the big tournaments in Asia. Far East has often been a good place for him in the past. The title in the Chinese Chengdu (2023) joins the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo (2021).
After participating in the “Six Kings Slam” in Saudi Arabia, the world number third is planning to start in Beijing (ATP 500/25 September to October 1) and Shanghai (Masters/October 1 to October 12). At the latter tournament, he already reached the final in 2019, but lost to Daniil Medvedev (4: 6, 1: 6).

On Saturday, the German top double Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz will play the third game against Yosuke Watanuki and Takeru Yuzuki. If no winner is determined after the three matches in best-of-five mode, it is played over.
