Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz, after a fierce four-set battle, defeated his long-time rival, Italian standout Jannik Sinner, with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, successfully lifting the championship trophy. This marks his return to the top at Flushing Meadows after three years, following his previous victory in 2022.
With this win, the 22-year-old Alcaraz not only secured his sixth Grand Slam title but also earned 2,000 ranking points and $5 million (approximately ¥35.66 million RMB) in prize money. More importantly, he will reclaim the top spot in the men's singles world rankings in the latest update.
This final was the 15th career meeting between the two leading figures of the new generation and their third Grand Slam final showdown this season. Throughout the match, both players maintained the intensity of their previous encounters, giving their all in every point and continually pushing each other to the limit. Alcaraz ultimately converted his opportunities into victory through more dominant performance and clutch play on key points.
"Every match against Jannik is a battle," Alcaraz said after the match. "I knew I had to bring my best level to win. This championship means everything to me."
At just 22 years old, Alcaraz now boasts six Grand Slam titles, including two French Open, two Wimbledon, and two US Open trophies. This victory not only solidifies his elite status in men's tennis but also signals the official passing of the torch to a new generation of tennis greatness.
