Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz has once again etched his name into tennis history by defeating Italy’s Jannik Sinner 3-1 in the US Open final. With this victory, the 22-year-old secured his sixth career grand slam title and reclaimed the world No.1 ranking.
This year, Alcaraz and Sinner had already faced off in the French Open and Wimbledon finals, and their rivalry continued on the hard courts of New York. Alcaraz dominated the opening set 6-2 as Sinner struggled with errors, but the Italian bounced back in the second, taking it 6-3 to level the match.
Unfazed, Alcaraz powered through the third set with a commanding 6-1 win, before sealing the championship in the fourth set 6-4. His relentless energy and precision proved too much for Sinner to handle.
With this triumph, Alcaraz not only returned to the top of the ATP rankings but also became the second-youngest player, after Bjorn Borg, to capture six grand slam titles. Among the spectators for this historic final was U.S. President Donald Trump, adding further spotlight to the event.
