US Open 2025: Carlos Alcaraz Defeats Jannik Sinner to Win his Second US Open title
US Open final in New York on Sunday night, Carlos Alcaraz unleashed his aggressive best to subdue world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in their third Grand Slam encounter of the year. The 22-year-old Spaniard won the entire title by dropping just one set, crushing his bitter rival Sinner in four sets.
Alcaraz has now won three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments and his second US Open title in his career. The most recent victory is the Spaniard’s sixth Grand Slam title; he has also won two French Open and Wimbledon titles. Alcaraz has returned to the top of the ATP rankings, becoming the new world No. 1 for the first time since August 2023.
The 22-year-old ended Sinner’s incredible 27-match winning streak at the hardcourt majors, shattering the Italian’s brilliant season and making him the second youngest man to win six majors since the start of the professional era in 1968, following Bjorn Borg.
