Carlos Alcaraz once again proved his dominance by defeating Jannik Sinner 3-1 (6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4) in the 2025 US Open final, winning his sixth Grand Slam title in the early hours of September 8th.
This victory also helped Alcaraz equal Nadal's record (both with 6 Grand Slam titles) before the age of 23. His achievement is only behind Bjorn Borg, who leads with 7 titles, and ahead of Pete Sampras and Mats Wilander, who have 5 and 4 titles respectively.
The third consecutive Grand Slam final of the year between Alcaraz and Sinner lasted 2 hours and 42 minutes, with a convincing performance from the Spanish player.
Alcaraz started well, breaking Alcaraz's serve twice to win the opening set 6-2 in 37 minutes.
In the second set, Sinner fought back strongly, securing a crucial break and winning 6-3, becoming the first player to take a set from Alcaraz in this year's tournament. But that was all the Italian player could do.
In the third set, Alcaraz regained control with his versatile playing style. An impromptu spinning smash that sent the ball bouncing across the court beyond Sinner's reach not only thrilled the audience but also boosted the Spanish player's confidence. As a result, Alcaraz quickly won the third set 6-1 to take a 2-1 lead.
In the deciding set, fans witnessed Sinner's efforts to catch up, but Alcaraz maintained a good attacking tempo and broke the game at the end of the set, sealing a 6-4 victory.
Thus, Alcaraz ended the tournament by breaking Sinner's streak of 27 consecutive wins on Grand Slam hard courts.
The second US Open title not only solidified Alcaraz's number one ranking on the ATP charts in the new era.
It also marked a significant turning point in the transfer of power in men's tennis. It also represented Alcaraz's return to the world number one ranking after two years.
