Winning the US Open, Alcaraz returns to No. 1 position

TPO - A convincing victory over Jannik Sinner helped Carlos Alcaraz win the 6th Grand Slam of his career and rise to the No. 1 position on the ATP rankings.

Alcaraz exploded in the final.

Carlos Alcaraz dominated Jannik Sinner to claim two of tennis' greatest titles on Sunday afternoon in New York.

The Spaniard put in a classy, ​​all-around performance, defeating his biggest rival of the moment with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. This is the 2nd US Open championship for the 2003-born player. Not only did he end Sinner's streak of 3 consecutive Grand Slam titles on hard courts, Alcaraz also ensured that he would replace the Italian at No. 1 in the ATP Rankings after 65 weeks of dominance. In 2022, Alcaraz also reached No. 1 after defeating Casper Ruud in the US Open final.

Alcaraz deserved the title after a superb performance. The Spaniard scored 42 winners, while Sinner only had 21. Alcaraz lost only 1 service game in the second set and had 10 aces, without double faults. On the other hand, Sinner served very poorly, making 4 double faults and only having a 48% first serve percentage. The Italian was no longer consistent, making many self-inflicted errors and having difficulty in his service games.

Alcaraz shared at the award ceremony: "Honestly, I am very lucky to have a great coaching team and a great family. Everyone's efforts have helped me become what I am. Every achievement I have achieved is thanks to everyone's efforts. This trophy is ours."

Sinner congratulated Alcaraz in his speech. He said: "Carlos' coaching team is fantastic. Everyone is doing a great job. I know that Carlos' performance today was thanks to a lot of effort from everyone, he played better than me. Enjoy it. This is a great moment."
