Jannik Sinner Issues Message After Carlos Alcaraz Takes Both US Open Title and No.1 Spot

The 2025 US Open Men’s Final was quite the showdown between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. It ended with Alcaraz taking the win at 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, which not only brought him back to the top of the World No. 1 ranking but also marked his sixth Grand Slam title. The match, played under the closed roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium due to rain, showcased Alcaraz’s tactical brilliance and serving dominance, leaving Sinner struggling to find rhythm against a relentless opponent.

Even though Sinner had a little comeback in the second set, he just couldn’t keep up with his opponent. The Spaniard’s forehand was spot on, and the mix of strategies—like slices, drop shots, and powerful baseline winners—was just too much to handle.

Right after that tough battle, Jannik Sinner’s graceful reaction to losing really highlighted the respect that shapes their rivalry. In the on-court interview, he kicked things off by addressing Alcaraz, saying, “Hello everyone, first of all I would like to start with Carlos and the whole team, you’re doing amazing, congrats, I know it’s a lot of hard work behind this performance, today you were better than me, so congrats, enjoy it, it’s a great moment.”
