"Spain's Carlos Alcaraz sealed his second US Open title after a four-set win over Italy's Jannik Sinner in New York. Alcaraz broke the Sinner serve in the first game of the match, as he raced away with the first set 6-2 in a little over half an hour. Alcaraz and Sinner have contested three Grand Slam finals in a rowImage: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images But Sinner wasn't going to take defeat lying down, and fought back to take the second set 6-3."
"Much like the first set, the third part of the match saw Alcaraz dominate, with his serve, almost impreganable over the last two weeks, again firing. The fourth set proved to be much more cagey, and Sinner had his chances, but erred when the chances were presented to him, as Alcaraz broke in the fifth game of what turned out to be the final set. By beating last year's US Open champion, Alcaraz usurps the Italian as the world number one atop the ATP tennis rankings."
