The budding rivals faced each other in a third consecutive Grand Slam final, after previously meeting at this year’s Roland Garros and Wimbledon Championships. Alcaraz battled back from two sets to love down to prevail in Paris, whereas Sinner left SW19 victorious following a four-set triumph.
With the eyes of the tennis community fixed on Flushing Meadows on Sunday afternoon, the duo once again proved why they are the best players in the world. Alcaraz did not drop a set prior to the final, with Sinner being just as efficient as the World No.1 lost only two sets en route to the last match of the tournament.
Nonetheless, it was Alcaraz who prevailed at Arthur Ashe stadium on Sunday. The 2022 champion looked devastating during the intense encounter, stifling a Sinner comeback to record a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory and lift his second US Open title.
