Alcaraz Dethrones Sinner at US Open With Trump In Attendance

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in the 2025 US Open final winning his second title at Flushing Meadows and reclaiming the world number one ranking, following a four-set victory of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4.

The match at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York City, which was delayed by over 30 minutes due to enhanced security measures surrounding the attendance of former U.S. President Donald Trump, saw Alcaraz dominate with a powerful serve and aggressive net play, ending Sinner’s 27-match winning streak on hard courts and solidifying his lead in their head-to-head rivalry.

Alcaraz was more aggressive than in their Wimbledon clash, advancing to the net frequently and dictating the pace, while Sinner struggled with his serve and forehand under pressure. He broke Sinner in the opening game and maintained control, winning the first and third sets convincingly, before overcoming two match points in the fourth set to clinch victory with his 10th ace.

The victory marks Alcaraz 's sixth Grand Slam title, making him the youngest man since Björn Borg to achieve six major titles in the Open Era. The win allowed him to reclaim the world number one ranking from Sinner, ending the Italian’s 65-week reign.

Both players praised each other post-match, with Alcaraz joking that he sees Sinner more than his family, highlighting their mutual respect and competitive bond.

The final was the third consecutive Grand Slam final between Alcaraz and Sinner, with Alcaraz now leading their overall head-to-head record 10-5 and 6-4 in Grand Slam encounters.

Trump’s presence drew a mixed reaction from the crowd, with cheers heard when he was shown on the stadium screens.
