"Alcaraz playfully remarks that he spends more time with Sinner in competition than with his own family"
In a thrilling US Open final, Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious, defeating Jannik Sinner with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, and 6-4. This marks Alcaraz's second Grand Slam title of the year, following his win at the French Open 2023.
Jannik Sinner, who had held the world number one spot since June 2024, lost his position to Alcaraz after the US Open. Sinner had a strong year, winning the Rotterdam tournament, the Miami Masters, the Halle tournament, the Cincinnati Masters, and the Australian Open and Wimbledon Grand Slams. However, it was Alcaraz who clinched the US Open title and the accompanying $5 million winner's check.
Despite the loss, Sinner graciously congratulated Alcaraz and his team. He also acknowledged Alcaraz's victory during the awards ceremony, where Alcaraz collected the champion's trophy. Sinner expressed that Alcaraz was better in the US Open final.
In a lighter moment, Alcaraz joked that he sees Sinner more than his family. Interestingly, Sinner made a similar comment, but not during the US Open awards ceremony. The two rivals have faced each other in three Grand Slam finals in the past three months, with Sinner previously winning Wimbledon in 2023.
As Alcaraz celebrates his win, he encourages everyone to appreciate this moment. "Enjoy the win," said Alcaraz, recognising the significance of this achievement. Sinner, in turn, expressed his congratulations and well wishes to Alcaraz.
This victory cements Alcaraz's position as one of the top tennis players in the world, and fans are eagerly anticipating his future performances. As for Sinner, he will no doubt continue to push himself to reach even greater heights in the world of tennis.
