The final took place in New York, Sinner lost to Alcaraz with a score of 1-3 (2-6, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6), thereby ending a streak of 27 consecutive wins in Grand Slam tournaments on hard courts. In addition, with the above defeat, he was officially dethroned by Alcaraz as the world's number 1 tennis player.

"I'm trying to prepare better for the next match when I meet him again," Sinner said in a post-match press conference. He admitted that he played too safe and predictable throughout the tournament, rarely using drop shots or tactics at the net. Sinner stressed that to beat a player like Alcaraz, he had to "get out of his comfort zone."

"I'm going to try to do that, even though I might lose a few matches from now on, but I want to bring some changes. I believe that's what I need to do to become a better player, which is my main goal," Sinner said.

The Italian revealed that he had struggled with his serve throughout the tournament and was looking to improve. "I'm going to change some small details in my serve, those details can make a big difference."

What's most notable is Sinner's mentality now that he's no longer world number one. "The new thing is that I'm no longer world number one, so the approach has changed: now I'm the hunter."

These determined statements from Sinner suggest that the confrontation between him and Alcaraz will be even more exciting in the future. Fans can expect dramatic and varied matches as the two best tennis players in the world continue to compete.
