Carlos Alcaraz ended the reign of Jannik Sinner with a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 win to claim the US Open title on Sunday.
In a perfect echo of the triumph that first propelled him to the number one spot in 2022, Alcaraz’s second New York title lifted him back to the top of the world rankings as the 22-year-old Spaniard displaced Sinner and took his Grand Slam trophy haul to six.
“I want to start with Jannik, it’s unbelievable what you’re doing the whole season, great level during every tournament that you’re playing. I’m seeing you more than my family,” said Alcaraz, who took his win-loss record with Sinner to 10-5.

He added: It’s great to share a court, to share the locker room, to share everything with you.
“I’m just really proud about the people I have around. Every achievement I’m having is because of you, thanks to you. This one is yours.”
The match had United States President Donald Trump watching from a luxury box in the stands.
Sinner said: “A lot of big stages and matches we played this season.
“I tried my best today, I couldn’t do more.”
