In the final match held in New York, Sinner lost to Alcaraz 1-3 (2-6, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6), ending his 27-match winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments on hard courts. Furthermore, this defeat officially dethroned Alcaraz as the world number one.

"I'm trying to prepare better for the next match when I face him again," Sinner shared in the post-match press conference. He admitted that he had played too safely and predictablely throughout the tournament, rarely using drop shots or net play. Sinner emphasized that to defeat a player like Alcaraz, he had to "step out of his comfort zone."

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

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

Most notably, Sinner's spirit has changed since he stepped down from the world number one ranking. "One new thing is that from now on I'm no longer the world number one, so the approach has changed: now I'm going to be the hunter."

Sinner's determined statements suggest that the rivalry between him and Alcaraz will become even more captivating in the future. Fans can look forward to dramatic and unpredictable matches as the two best players in the world continue to compete.
