Carlos Alcaraz Defeats Sinner in US Open Final – A Rivalry Reaches New Height

On Sunday night, Carlos Alcaraz captured his second US Open title, defeating Jannik Sinner 6–2, 3–6, 6–1, 6–4 in a high-quality final that confirmed one thing: this is the defining rivalry of the new era.

Alcaraz came out with variety and controlled aggression. He dictated the tempo, mixing deep baseline play with subtle drop shots and net charges to keep Sinner off-balance. Sinner responded well in the second set but couldn’t keep up once Alcaraz raised his level in sets three and four.

📈 Key stats:

• 84% first-serve points won by Alcaraz in set three

• Sinner: 29 winners, but 34 unforced errors

• Alcaraz: Only broken once all match

This is their third Slam final in 2025, and it won’t be the last. Alcaraz reclaims the World No.1 ranking and ends the summer hardcourt season on top — both literally and symbolically.

🎾 Lesson: Grand Slam finals aren’t just about talent. They’re about adaptation, emotional intelligence, and being ready when momentum swings. Alcaraz passed every test.
