 Carlos Alcaraz secured his second career US Open men’s singles title with a commanding victory over Jannik Sinner in the 2025 final. Tennis.com and Tennis Temple detail that Alcaraz defeated Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 at the USTA National Tennis Center in New York, capturing the $5 million winner’s purse and 2,000 ATP ranking points. This win follows his 2022 triumph, highlighting Alcaraz’s growing stature in men’s tennis as he overcomes the defending champion Sinner, who bested Taylor Fritz for the title in 2024. The championship point ball from this match fetched a remarkable sum at auction, illustrating both Alcaraz’s appeal and the fanfare around the historic victory, notes Tennis Infinity.

Sinner’s run to the final reiterates his hard-court prowess; ATP Tour reports he entered the tournament on a 61-match unbeaten streak against players ranked outside the top ten on hard courts, underlining his consistency. Sinner dispatched players like Félix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals, while Alcaraz toppled Novak Djokovic in straight sets to set up the final, as shown in the official match summaries.

In women’s doubles, Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe captured the championship by defeating the top-seeded pairing of Kateřina Siniaková and Taylor Townsend with a straight-sets win, 6-4, 6-4. Mixed doubles saw wild cards Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori prevail over the high-profile team of Iga Świątek and Casper Ruud in the final.

The main draw ran from August 24 to September 7, 2025, following an energetic fan week. Some notable upsets in singles included the exits of seeds Holger Rune, Casper Ruud, Belinda Bencic, and others in the early rounds. Emma Raducanu, Aryna Sabalenka, and Mirra Andreeva were among the prominent women advancing in the opening stages. On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic made a deep run, reaching the semifinals before falling to Alcaraz in a match that marked a significant shift as the Spanish champion continued to establish his dominance in the Grand Slam landscape.

Total prize money for the 2025 US Open reached $57,462,000, maintaining the event’s reputation as the most lucrative Grand Slam. Quarterfinalists and above were awarded substantial sums, with a first-round exit even earning $110,000. All main draw matches took place on the signature blue hard courts in Flushing Meadows, with sessions played both day and night to accommodate massive fan engagement.

Off the court, the event featured high engagement through fan activities, robust media coverage, and an auction of memorabilia, including the championship point ball from Alcaraz’s win. This year’s tournament was marked by competitive depth, global stars, and dramatic matches, reinforcing the US Open’s role as the thrilling conclusion to the Grand Slam calendar.
