"Alcaraz moved up from No. 2 and swapped places with Sinner by virtue of a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over him in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday. Sinner had held No. 1 since making his debut there in June 2024, a 65-week stay. Alcaraz first reached that spot in September 2022 at age 19 -- making him the youngest No. 1 in ATP history -- by claiming his first major championship at that year's US Open. He relinquished that ranking in September 2023."
"Sabalenka wound up collecting her second US Open title in a row with a 6-3, 7-6 (3) win Saturday over Anisimova, a 24-year-old American. Anisimova's second consecutive runner-up run at a major -- she lost to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final in July -- allowed her to climb five spots from No. 9, part of a remarkable surge from outside the top 350 when she returned last season from a mental-health break."
Carlos Alcaraz returned to No. 1 in the ATP rankings after defeating Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the US Open final, moving up from No. 2. Alcaraz said achieving his season goals felt amazing and called regaining No. 1 a dream. Sinner had held the top spot since June 2024 for 65 weeks. Alcaraz first became No. 1 in September 2022 at age 19 and lost the ranking in September 2023. Novak Djokovic rose to No. 4 while Alexander Zverev remained No. 3. Aryna Sabalenka retained WTA No. 1 and won her second straight US Open, and Amanda Anisimova climbed to a career-high No. 4 after finishing runner-up.
