Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in four sets, with a scoreline of 6–2, 3–6, 6–1, 6–4!
With this win, Alcaraz secured his second US Open title and sixth Grand Slam overall, entering rare company as one of only three men (alongside Borg and Nadal) to win six majors before age 23.
The victory also enabled Alcaraz to reclaim the world No. 1 ranking!
This final was the third consecutive Grand Slam final matchup between Alcaraz and Sinner, underscoring one of modern tennis’s most compelling rivalries.
Alcaraz delivered a commanding performance: he unleashed twice as many winners as Sinner and broke serve five times – the most impressive display of his career.
For Sinner, there’s a couple of games within grand slams this year he’d like to have back against Alcaraz. Coming up short in the US Open final for Sinner means he finished one point – two sets – shy of the calendar grand slam, which would’ve equaled one of the single greatest runs in men’s tennis history. Rod Laver is the last player to accomplish the feat, doing so twice (1962, 1969). Since squandering that memorable triple-match point at Roland Garros, Sinner squashed Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, but saw his adversary return the favor and end his shot at a second straight US Open crown.
The Alcaraz–Sinner final was the culmination of an unprecedented streak – three straight Grand Slam finals between the two in 2025.
Alcaraz’s win not only cemented his elite status but also showcased remarkable efficiency – spending minimal time on court and dropping very few sets.
The match began after a delay caused by heightened security due to the attendance of US President Donald Trump, who became the first sitting president to attend the US Open in 25 years.
Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended her title by beating Amanda Anisimova, with a score of 6–3, 7–6 (7–3).
Sabalenka’s win marked her fourth Grand Slam singles title overall (Australian Open 2023 & 2024; US Open 2024 & 2025).
She became the first woman since Serena Williams (2013–2014) to successfully defend the US Open crown.
Additionally, Sabalenka’s triumph brought her a significant milestone with 100th Grand Slam match win.
Aryna’s consistent success highlights her strong presence in women’s tennis this year, despite earlier Grand Slam final losses at the Australian Open and French Open.
After the match, Anisimova revealed she had been experiencing partial hearing loss in one ear in the preceding two weeks -something she shared publicly for the first time. Meanwhile, Sabalenka reinforced her dominance at the US Open stage, joining a select group of repeat champions.
Multiple outlets reported the men’s champion earned a record-breaking $5 million prize!
Exact figures for the women’s prize were not cited directly in sources, but prize money in Grand Slam finals typically runs into millions.
Congratulations to the champions!
