In a winner-takes-all showdown, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner faces off against World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. This is not just a battle for the coveted US Open trophy, but also for the top spot in the PIF ATP Rankings.
A Rivalry for the Ages
Sinner and Alcaraz have developed one of the most compelling rivalries in modern tennis. Their clash at Arthur Ashe Stadium will mark their third consecutive Grand Slam final meeting. Alcaraz triumphed at Roland Garros, while Sinner avenged that loss at Wimbledon. Now, the hard courts of New York will be the stage for their rubber match. With Alcaraz holding a slight edge in their head-to-head record (9-5), this final promises to be a dramatic and tightly contested affair.

Jannik Sinner: A Chance at History
For Jannik Sinner, this final is an opportunity to etch his name in the record books. The defending champion, Sinner is aiming to become the first man to successfully defend his US Open title since the legendary Roger Federer did so in 2008. He has been in sensational form, reaching his fifth consecutive Grand Slam final. This feat demonstrates why he is the current top-ranked player.
Carlos Alcaraz: A Return to the Top
Carlos Alcaraz is no stranger to the US Open final, having won the title in 2022. The young Spaniard is seeking his second US Open crown and a sixth major title overall. A victory on Sunday would not only secure the trophy but would also see him reclaim the World No. 1 ranking for the first time in two years. His dominant performance against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals showed he is in peak form and ready to challenge for the title.
What to Expect
The final is set to be a clash of contrasting yet equally exhilarating styles. Sinner’s powerful and precise baseline game, combined with his exceptional movement, will be tested by Alcaraz’s all-court athleticism, explosive forehand, and creative shot-making. Expect long, grueling rallies, breathtaking winners, and a rollercoaster of emotions. The atmosphere inside Arthur Ashe Stadium is sure to be electric as these two titans of the sport leave it all on the court.
