"Carlos Alcaraz is the US Open champion once more after producing a sensational display of tennis to defeat World No. 1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner in four sets at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Alcaraz quite literally blew Sinner off the court for the majority of the 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory to deservedly seal his sixth grand slam title and second US Open in two hours and 42 minutes, with Alcaraz also dethroning Sinner as World Number 1 in the wake of Sunday's victory."
"The US Open final is typically a who's who of celebrity attendees, but Sunday's final trumped them all literally. US President Donald Trump became the first sitting US President to attend the US Open in 25 years when he arrived at Sunday's showpiece event and was roundly booed as he appeared on the stadium's four jumbotrons. Meanwhile, music legend Bruce Springsteen, who had been involved in a spat with the President several months ago, drew one of the largest cheers of the afternoon when he appeared on the big screen."
Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to claim his sixth Grand Slam and second US Open, lasting two hours and 42 minutes. Alcaraz dominated most of the match with a remarkable collection of winners and consistent high-level play, only yielding a strong second-set response from Sinner. The victory returned Alcaraz to world No. 1 and avenged his Wimbledon final loss to Sinner. The final was marked by notable celebrity appearances, including US President Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen, which drew mixed crowd reactions during the showpiece event.
