"Carlos Alcaraz pulled off a calm yet ferocious performance to end his great rival Jannik Sinner's reign and win the US Open men's singles final in four sets in front of a sell-out crowd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. Alcaraz claimed his second US Open title with a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 win on Sunday as US President Donald Trump watched along with his entourage and caused a delay in the match start time due to extensive security checks for the spectators."
"I want to start with Jannik, it's unbelievable what you're doing the whole season, great level during every tournament that you're playing I'm seeing you more than my family, said Alcaraz, who took his win-loss record with Sinner to 10-5. It's great to share a court, to share the locker room, to share everything with you. I'm just really proud about the people I have around. Every achievement I'm having is because of you, thanks to you this one is yours."
"As grey clouds hovered over the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium, Alcaraz continued to deliver the sunshine tennis that has lit up Flushing Meadows over the last fortnight, consolidating an early break by faking a drop to hit a winner that wrong-footed Sinner. He beamed after pulling off an outrageous half-volley at the net and wrapped up the opening set shortly afterwards."
