Alcaraz moved up from No. 2 and swapped places with Sinner by virtue of a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over him in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday. Sinner had held No. 1 since making his debut there in June 2024, a 65-week stay. Alcaraz first reached that spot in September 2022 at age 19 -- making him the youngest No. 1 in ATP history -- by claiming his first major championship at that year's US Open. He relinquished that ranking in September 2023.
I loved it, Trump said. First of all, the two players have unbelievable talent. It just seemed that they hit the ball harder than I've ever seen before. Incredible talent. And I enjoyed it. The president continued: I used to go [to the event] all the time, but lately it's a little bit more more difficult to go. I really enjoyed it. They were really nice, the fans were really nice. I didn't know what to expect.
