Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in four sets to clinch his second US Open and sixth Grand Slam title, reclaiming the world No.1 ranking.

Alcaraz Triumphs Over Sinner in Historic U.S. Open Clash

Alcaraz Clinches Historic U.S. Open Dual

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in four sets to clinch his second US Open and sixth Grand Slam title, reclaiming the world No.1 ranking.

Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner in four sets on Sunday to win the US Open and reassert his dominance of an era-defining rivalry in a final delayed by the visit of President Donald Trump.
The 22-year-old Alcaraz won 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to capture his second US Open crown and sixth Grand Slam title, avenging his lone defeat in a major final by Sinner at Wimbledon in July.
"It's a great feeling. I'm working really hard just to lift this trophy. It's my second one but it's still a dream come true," said Alcaraz.
Alcaraz will reclaim the world number one ranking from Sinner, returning to top spot on Monday for the first time since September 2023 after ending the Italian's 27-match winning run at hard-court Grand Slams.
"It was one of the first goals that I had, to recover the number one (ranking)," said Alcaraz, who also defeated Sinner in an epic French Open final in June.
Alcaraz has now won seven of the past eight meetings and is 10-5 overall against Sinner.
"I tried my best today. I couldn't do more," said Sinner. "I felt like he was doing everything slightly better today.
"He raised his level when he had to... He played better than me today."
Alcaraz and Sinner have shared the last eight Grand Slams on offer, winning four apiece to assert their superiority over the rest of the sport including Novak Djokovic.
But while Sinner is 109-4 against the rest of the tour over the past two seasons, Alcaraz has had his number.
"It's going to be on me if I want to make changes or not," said Sinner. "That's what I have to do, trying to become a better tennis player."
Sinner's defeat at Flushing Meadowns extends the longest drought without a successful men's title defence of any Grand Slam in the Open era.
No man has retained the US Open crown since Roger Federer won five in a row from 2004 to 2008.
Anticipation for the third straight Grand Slam final between the game's top two players assumed an even greater dimension with the presence of Trump.
It was the latest in a series of visits to major sporting events for the US leader after his trip to the NFL's Super Bowl in February and the FIFA Club World Cup final in July.
He appeared before the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner, waving to the crowd, which greeted him with a mix of cheers and boos. He was given a frostier reception later in the match though when shown again on the stadium's big screens.
A constellation of showbiz and sports icons turned out as well Sunday, with rock star Bruce Springsteen, fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger, actor Michael Douglas and basketball superstar Stephen Curry all on hand.
 - Start delayed by Trump visit -
The start of the final was pushed back 30 minutes to allow fans additional time to enter Arthur Ashe Stadium as a result of tighter security measures in effect due to Trump's attendance.
Even then the 23,000-capacity venue was no more than three-quarters full when Alcaraz broke Sinner in the opening game of the match.
As he did in the Wimbledon final, Alcaraz pinned Sinner on the back foot early and broke a second time for a 5-2 lead before serving out to love.
With hundreds of spectators still waiting to get in at the start of the second set, Alcaraz sought to hammer home his advantage against Sinner.
He created a break point but Sinner hung on and stalled Alcaraz's momentum, belatedly ramping up his game and surging 3-1 ahead as the Spaniard suffered a brief dip on serve.
Sinner levelled the contest at a set apiece but Alcaraz stormed back with another break early in the third, wriggling out of a tight spot on serve with the help of a sensational baseline smash that sliced away from his rival for a 3-0 edge.
He padded his lead with another break and quickly wrapped up the set, keeping his foot down to corner Sinner again to begin the fourth set.
This time Sinner saved two break points but Alcaraz made another charge in the fifth game, delivering the decisive blow for an advantage he never relinquished as the Spaniard became only the fourth man to win multiple majors on hard courts, grass and clay.

Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus lost in the US Open men’s doubles semifinal, but Bhambri made history as only the fourth Indian man to reach this stage in a Grand Slam.

Yuki Bhambri bows out of US Open after reaching semifinals

Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus lost in the US Open men&rsquo;s doubles semifinal, but Bhambri made history as only the fourth Indian man to reach this stage in a Grand Slam.

India's Yuki Bhambri ended a semifinalist at the US Open men's doubles event with partner Michael Venus, marking his deepest run at a Grand Slam tournament.
Bhambri went down 7-6 (2) 6-7(5) 4-6 in a thrilling contest against the experienced sixth seed British pair of Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury, but not before scripting history of his own.
The 33-year-old Delhi player became only the fourth Indian man in the Open era to reach a Grand Slam doubles semifinals, after Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna.
The Indian-New Zealand duo had stitched together an impressive campaign at Flushing Meadows, toppling higher seeded combinations en route to the last four.
Their run included victories over fourth seeds Germans Tim Putz/Kevin Krawietz apart from knocking out 11th seeds Rajeev Ram and Nikola Mektic, underlining Bhambri's growing stature on the doubles circuit after injuries curtailed his singles ambitions.
"This has been a special week for me. To be playing at this level and in the semifinals of a Slam is a big moment," Bhambri said after the loss.
Bhambri's showing continues a strong season for Indian tennis, coming close on the heels of Bopanna's consistent success on the doubles tour.
For the Delhiite, who has endured multiple injury layoffs in the past decade, the semifinal finish represents a breakthrough and a potential turning point in the latter half of his career.
With the result, Bhambri assured himself a significant boost in rankings and valuable momentum heading into the rest of the season.&nbsp;

Venus Williams at 45, returns to the US Open with a wild card. With a career marked by Grand Slam wins and Olympic success, Venus stands resilient against health challenges, ready to compete again.

Venus Williams to Make Historic US Open Comeback at 45

At 45, Venus Williams makes her US Open comeback with a wild-card entry, marking a historic return. Her career highlights include Grand Slam triumphs, Olympic victories, and a resilient spirit in face of health hurdles.

Venus Williams' US Open Return at 45

Venus Williams will make a historic return at 45 to the US Open, receiving a wild card entry. Her illustrious career boasts multiple Grand Slam victories and Olympic medals, with notable resilience against health challenges.

&nbsp;
New York, Aug 14 (AP) Venus Williams is making a remarkable return to the professional tennis circuit at 45, preparing for her U.S. Open comeback next week. This marks her first Grand Slam involvement in two years.
The U.S. Tennis Association extended Williams a wild-card entry for singles on Wednesday. She becomes the oldest competitor in the event at New York since Renee Richards, who participated at 47 in 1981. Williams has also been granted a wild-card in mixed doubles.
A Legacy Engraved in Tennis History
Venus Williams' accolades are impressive: seven Grand Slam singles titles, 14 in women&rsquo;s doubles alongside her sister Serena, two in mixed doubles, and the record of five Olympic tennis medals.
A Glimpse Back at a Stellar Career
Williams, born in Lynwood, California, debuted on the pro scene in 1994 at age 14, during the WTA tournament in Oakland. She marked a victorious debut against Shaun Stafford, overcoming her 6-3, 6-4, but was edged out by Arantxa S&aacute;nchez Vicario in the second round.
Her Grand Slam debut was in the 1997 French Open, making an early impression by reaching round two. Not long after, she powered through to the U.S. Open final, only to be halted by Martina Hingis.
Memorable Milestones
The Williams sisters&rsquo; competitive spirit came to the fore at the 1998 Australian Open, where Venus clinched a second-round victory over Serena. They&rsquo;ve faced off 31 times as professionals, with Serena eclipsing Venus 19-12 in their overall matchup and 11-5 in Slam showdowns. They celebrated their first women's doubles Grand Slam win together at the 1999 French Open, also seizing the U.S. Open that very year.
In 2000, Venus adorned the Wimbledon stage with her first Grand Slam singles triumph over Lindsay Davenport, becoming the first Black woman to lift the trophy since Althea Gibson in the 1950s. The Williams sisters, having marked the history of tennis as the first sisters to win major singles titles, were just starting their trail of victories.
Williams earned Wimbledon glory four more times, in 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2008, besides her notable run at the Olympics &mdash; bagging golds in singles and doubles in 2000, followed by doubles victories in 2008 and 2012, and a silver medal in mixed doubles in 2016 with Rajeev Ram.
A Battle Against Challenges and Triumphs
The historic Williams vs. Williams Grand Slam final showdown in 2001 saw Venus trump her sister Serena for her second U.S. Open title. From 2002-2003, their riveting sibling rivalry graced four consecutive Slam finals, with Serena clinching all four victories. Ascending to No. 1 in the WTA rankings for the first time in February 2002, Venus held the spot for 11 weeks.
However, the journey wasn't without trials. In 2011, Venus announced her battle with Sj&ouml;gren's syndrome, a debilitating auto-immune disease. Despite these challenges, she experienced a career resurgence in 2016-17, contesting in the finals of the Australian Open and Wimbledon, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open.
A Triumphant Return
The past years have witnessed Venus grappling with health setbacks, culminating in surgery for uterine fibroids last year, and a 16-month hiatus from the tour. Nonetheless, she returned to the court at the DC Open this July, celebrating wins in both singles and doubles. Despite recent challenges in top-tier tournaments, particularly her exits in the initial Slam rounds, Venus remains a tour-de-force &mdash; a testament to her enduring spirit and grace on the tennis court.

Interestingly, Bopanna's journey to his maiden Major final in 2010, alongside his then partner, Pakistan's Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, also took place at the US Open.
The final match will see Bopanna and Ebden facing the winners of the other semifinal, which features the American duo of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury against the Croatian-American pair of Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek at the Louis Armstrong stadium.
While Bopanna and Ebden continue their impressive doubles run, Rohan Bopanna is out of the mixed doubles event after a second-round defeat alongside his Indonesian partner, Aldila Sutjiadi.
