According to coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, the defeat at Wimbledon became the motivation for Carlos Alcaraz and him to create a special training plan. This helped the Spanish tennis player convincingly defeat Jannik Sinner and win the US Open 2025.
In the final match that took place in the early morning of September 8, Alcaraz defeated Sinner 3-1 (6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4) after 2 hours and 42 minutes, winning the sixth Grand Slam title of his career. This is also the second time the 22-year-old tennis player has won the US Open after the 2022 season.
According to Mr. Ferrero's revelation, the two spent 15 days after Wimbledon dissecting the matches, carefully analyzing Sinner's playing style and focusing on improving every smallest detail.
"We know that on hard courts, Jannik is always very difficult and has won many matches. I think it helps a lot, because Carlos clearly sees what needs to be improved, and I am completely focused on that," said Mr. Ferrero.
The plan worked, with Alcaraz bursting onto the scene and prompting Sinner to admit after the final: "He's improved. I felt he was more compact today. What I did well in London, he did better today. He did everything better, especially his serve.
He stepped up at the right time. I'm still proud of myself and the season I've had, but I have to admit he was better today."

With this victory, Alcaraz ended Sinner's 27-match winning streak on Grand Slam hard courts, returned to the ATP No. 1 position and affirmed a clear shift in power in men's tennis.
In the last two seasons, the Grand Slam titles have been almost a two-horse race between these two young players.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will not let rivals get in the way of the Grand Slam race in the next few years and they could meet in at least 15 Grand Slam finals in the future, according to former world number one Mats Wilander.
