NEW YORK (AP) – OK, it’s certain that maybe there’s no reason to actually hold the entire U.S. Open, but just an inevitable match for the men’s championship between Jannik Sinner (assuming he’s healthy) and Carlos Alcaraz went on a fast development on September 7.
However, it seems to be reasonable.
Novak Djokovic admitted: “We know that they are the main force now.”
When the singles action starts on the grass in Flushing on Sunday, starting on the usual Monday, there are some cases where various players can enter the women’s finals. For example, the top three in the rankings – first place Aryna Sabalenka, second place IGA Swiatek and No. 3 Coco Gauff – for example, the past three U.S. Open champions. Other past major champions like Naomi Osaka or Elena Rybakina have performed well lately. Maybe new faces will appear.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz win the final 7 Grand Slam titles
When it comes to men, there is actually only one name that matters in this last three eras, and the name is a silly, constitutive, “federal” style mashup, namely the one who ranks first (Sinner) and second (Alcaraz) (Alcaraz) and claims to be the trophy for seven Grand Slams, and in the last 12 rows are the trophys for seven Grand Slams.
Djokovic took the other three in that span.
There is nothing more like this in the women’s competition. The past five players have won five: Swiatek (Wimbledon in July), Goff (French Open in June), Madison Keys (Australia Open in January), Sabalenka (Last U.S. Open) and Barbora Krejcikikova (Last Wimbledon).
When the U.S. Open started, “sincaraz” was more than the cut
“Sinner and Alcaraz,” said Marcos Giron, an American American, who ranked 37th and faced both, “bringing a ridiculous level in the week after week.”
Check out the ATP rankings, which can lead after the U.S. Open. Look at the title. Looking at the past two Grand Slam finals, Alcaraz eliminated two set deficits and saved three championship points to win the French Open, before Sinner won four games at Wimbledon in July. Looking at the recent 1000 Masters Championship Cincinnati Open, Sina did not give up a single match on the way to Monday’s finals, but resigned because he felt uncomfortable and ceded the trophy to Alkaraz.
This ended Sinner’s 26-game winning streak on the hard court; Alcaraz was also responsible for previous failures. Alcaraz collected his Tour Sixth Trophy this season and won 39 of his last 41 games.
Cincinnati is the fourth match since Sinner returned from a three-month doping ban in May, and they all competed, and they met to decide the title in all four matches.
What makes the First Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz so good?
They hit the ball hard like anyone else. Sinner’s rival Djokovic scored his best form in the game. The titration lens of Alkaraz is unparalleled. Both demonstrated significant athletic abilities. Alkaraz is probably the fastest person around. The long limbs of sinners achieve everything.
What sets them apart?
“Their confidence. Their hits. Their moves are basically perfect,” said former player Sam Querrey, who made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon and the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open. “It seems like they need to hit the ball with a little extra force when they need it.”
It leaves behind other elite players, such as Ben Shelton, a 22-year-old American who ranks sixth in the Grand Slam and so far again.
Shelton’s 2025 Grand Slam resume includes losses to Sinner at the Australian Open and losses to Sinner at the French Open for Alcaraz and Wimbledon.
“It’s frustrating,” Sheldon said. “Two completely different players and challenges.”
How big is Alcaraz competed with the Sinners to the U.S. Open?
Admittedly, the sample size is small, but these two are producing that appealing point and exciting game, which Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal or Nadal vs. Djokovic once used.
“The competition is real. It’s there,” said Darren Cahill, one of Sina’s two coaches. “Hopefully it will exist and be true for the next 10 or 12 years.”

“You have to win every point in every game. He lets you suffer (from the first point in the game) until the last ball.” “It’s really hard to find a hole in his game.”
“We try,” the 24-year-old boy from Italy said of their match.
