His 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Jannik Sinner in the US Open final was not a Shakespearean drama like their Parisian duel, but rather a manifesto: today\u2019s tennis has two owners, and their names are Carlos and Jannik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 22, the Spaniard became the second-youngest man in the Open Era to capture six Grand Slam titles, only behind Bjorn Borg. \u201cI played perfect,\u201d he said with a mischievous smile and the confidence of a champion. His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, had already predicted it: only perfection could beat Sinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian, who triumphed at Wimbledon, looked subdued this time, perhaps due to physical after-effects or simply because, when facing Alcaraz, certainties tend to dissolve. \u201cI did the best I could today, I couldn\u2019t do more,\u201d he admitted with refreshing honesty. Yet he was the only one to take a set off him during the fortnight in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arthur Ashe duel, though uneven at times, confirmed what everyone knows: there is a gulf between this pair and the rest of the tour. Like Federer and Nadal, but in their own way\u2014youthful, powerful, fresh\u2014they already share three Grand Slam finals in the same calendar year. Something their predecessors never achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The closing of the match mirrored the whole story: Sinner trying to seize the initiative, Alcaraz returning impossible shots until finishing with an ace that sealed his second title in New York. His celebration was measured, aware that what has just begun is not an isolated triumph, but an era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stage, however, was not free of political theatre. The presence of Donald Trump, invited by Rolex, forced security to be reinforced to levels that left hundreds of fans outside at the start of the match. The former president received some cheers, yes, but also a symphony of boos that echoed louder than any forehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the noise faded and the New York concrete dust settled, the image of this US Open was clear: an unstoppable Alcaraz, a dignified yet beaten Sinner, and a rivalry destined to write memorable chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In tennis, as in life, great duels are not always measured by the spectacle of each point, but by the certainty that we are witnessing two young men destined to rule the game for years to come.<br><br>\u270d\ufe0f <small>\u00a92025 The Voice of the Sidewalk &#8211; All Rights Reserved<\/small><br><br><small>\u00a9 2025 ElCanillita.info \/ SportJournal.pictures &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; SalaStampa.eu, world press service Guzzo Photos &amp; Graphic Publications \u2013 Registro Editori e Stampatori n. 1441 Turin, Italy<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, September 7, 2025 Carlos Alcaraz has reclaimed the summit of men\u2019s tennis with the determination of someone who not only plays, but rewrites&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1377,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[20,38],"tags":[41,34,47],"class_list":["post-1376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-tennis-en","tag-english","tag-tennis","tag-us-open","entry","rows"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The King\u2019s Return: Alcaraz and Sinner, a rivalry that defines modern tennis - Sport Journal Pictures<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Got a Passion for Sport Action?
