Carlos Alcaraz reasserted his superiority over Jannik Sinner with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory Sunday in the U.S. Open final for his second trophy at Flushing Meadows and sixth overall at a major. This was the third Grand Slam tournament in a row where these elite, young rivals met to decide the champion.

The match’s start was delayed for about a half-hour while thousands of fans were stuck outside Arthur Ashe Stadium while going through extra security because President Donald Trump sat in a sponsor’s suite. Perhaps the extra wait got the No. 1-seeded Sinner, who was the defending champion.
