"Sinner, a 24-year-old from Italy, is trying to become the first repeat men's champion at Flushing Meadows since Roger Federer won five championships in a row there from 2004 through 2008. He's also bidding for his third Grand Slam title of the season, after the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and fifth of his career. Alcaraz, a 22-year-old from Spain, is seeking his sixth major trophy overall and second of 2025, after the French Open."
"Even though both are quite young, theirs is already quite a remarkable rivalry. Sunday's showdown represents the first time in tennis history that the same two men played each other in three consecutive Grand Slam finals within a single season. This hard-court matchup follows Alcaraz's victory over Sinner erasing a trio of match points on the French Open's red clay in June, and Sinner's victory over Alcaraz on Wimbledon's grass in July."
President Donald Trump is expected at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open men's final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner, 24, seeks to become the first repeat men's champion at Flushing Meadows since Roger Federer and aims for a third Grand Slam this season and fifth career major. Alcaraz, 22, seeks his sixth major and second of 2025 after the French Open; he won the U.S. Open in 2022, defeating Sinner in the quarterfinals. This is the first time the same two men have met in three consecutive Grand Slam finals in a single season. Alcaraz beat Sinner at Roland-Garros after saving three match points; Sinner beat Alcaraz at Wimbledon. The winner will be No. 1 on Monday. Since last year's U.S. Open, Sinner is 33-1 at majors; Alcaraz is 36-1 since May and leads the tour in wins and titles in 2025.
