Carlos Alcaraz has etched his name deeper into tennis history, defeating defending champion Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the 2025 US Open final to capture his second title in New York and sixth Grand Slam overall.
At just 22 years old, Alcaraz becomes the youngest player in men’s tennis history to win multiple Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces—grass, clay, and hard courts. He now owns two Wimbledon titles (2023, 2024), two Roland Garros crowns (2024, 2025), and two US Open trophies (2022, 2025).
🔥 A Rivalry Defining a Generation
This year’s US Open final was the third consecutive Grand Slam title match between Alcaraz and Sinner, the current flagbearers of men’s tennis. The Spaniard claimed his second victory in three finals this season, halting Sinner’s 27-match hard-court major winning streak and ending his 65-week reign as World No. 1.
Alcaraz’s victory ensures his return to the top of the ATP rankings, reclaiming the throne he last held in September 2023.
