Carlos Alcaraz claimed victory in the US Open final beating close rival Jannik Sinner 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 in a blistering match which the Spaniard has been preparing for since Wimbledon in July.
This season Alcaraz and Sinner have shared the grand slam titles between them with Sinner triumphing at the Australian Open before Alcaraz dug deep to claim the French Open title. At Wimbledon, Sinner swept Alcaraz aside in four sets ending his pursuit of a third consecutive victory at SW19.
