US Open _ Men's Final 2025

Another Sinner/Alcaraz final :)

Carlos got past Djokovic in straights (6-4,7-6,,6-2) 2nd set Breaker was decisive. Sinner beat Auger Aliaissime in 4 sets (6-1,3-6,6-3,6-4) Hopefully another exciting final! Alcraraz leads the Head to Head 9-5 but obviously Jannilk came back strongly to win Wimbledon 4-6,6-4,6-4,6-4. The French final was a classic 5 setter though the 5th Breaker was routine for Carlos and one Jannik really let get away. They did meet in Cincinnati but with Sinner retiring early cannot read too much into it. Sinner did have a bit of an adominal issue yesterday but seems it is not that significant.

Alcaraz yet to drop a set (though was 3-0 down in 2nd set of semi), Sinner has lost two (also had a 4 setter after dropping the first to Shapovalov in Round 3)

Thank you James. :thumbup:

No problem Jane.

Not quite the contest I hoped for but seen some great tennis, Alcaraz overall was in amazing form as he took the title and regained the no1 ranking winning 6-2,3-6,6-1,6-4. Carlos'serving was a revelation which lead the foundations for the rest of his game and along with power ,flair and variety. For large parts of the match Sinner struggled to make a great impact and only 48% of first serves in did not help his cause,at times he would go for too much but was under sustained pressure and could not attack successfully often enough.

Anyway they have both won two slams this year but it is the Carlos who will return to the world's best and if Jannik thought he had started to figure Alcaraz out after his Wimbledon win obviously needs to make further imprtovements for their next clash.
