The 2025 US Open men’s singles final, originally scheduled for 2 p.m., was delayed to 2:30 p.m. due to enhanced security measures and to give fans extra time to reach their seats[1].
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner to claim his second US Open title, prevailing 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Alcaraz delivered a dominant performance in the fourth set after an early break, capturing his sixth career Grand Slam title and avenging his loss to Sinner at Wimbledon earlier this summer. This result puts Alcaraz ahead 10-5 in their career head-to-head and marks his first US Open title since 2022[4].
Alcaraz gave an emotional on-court interview, expressing gratitude to fans and reflecting on the match’s intensity[2]. Sinner addressed the media after the final, noting that his serve struggled but credited Alcaraz’s improvement and execution. He discussed his commitment to refining his own game rather than focusing specifically on his frequent rival[3].
The US Open concluded its 145th edition, with Aryna Sabalenka also claiming the women’s singles title for the second consecutive year. The 2026 US Open is set for August 24 to September 13[3].
