In a charged atmosphere at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the 2025 US Open delivered, on Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, a showcase worthy of tennis’s greatest legends. With unshakable determination, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka claimed emphatic victories, solidifying their status as dominant forces on the global circuit. Their triumphs capped a weekend where power, mental strength, and experience proved decisive.
Men’s Singles: Alcaraz, the Return of a King
In a much-anticipated clash with his great rival Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz produced a historic performance to capture his second title at Flushing Meadows. In four gripping sets (6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4) and after more than five hours of play, the Spaniard once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the fiercest competitors of his generation.
The match opened with an intense baseline duel, where Alcaraz’s relentless aggression and dazzling variety quickly set the tone. His ability to shift rhythm—moving fluidly between delicate drop shots and punishing groundstrokes—ultimately unsettled Sinner’s formidable defense. With this sixth Grand Slam crown, Alcaraz not only reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking from his opponent but also reinforced his legacy, sending a clear message to the tennis world: he is more determined than ever to dominate.
Women’s Singles: Sabalenka’s Relentless Power
On Saturday, Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka delivered a commanding display of power and mental resilience, defeating American Amanda Anisimova in straight sets (6-3, 7-6).
From the opening game, Sabalenka set an unforgiving pace, firing aces and winners from the baseline. Anisimova fought valiantly, especially in a fiercely contested second set, but Sabalenka maintained her focus and intensity to close out the match with a 7-3 tiebreak.
The victory earned Sabalenka her fourth Grand Slam title and further cemented her position atop the WTA rankings, showcasing a blend of raw power and steel-minded composure that few can rival.
A Tournament Defined by Rivalries and Spectacle
The triumphs of Alcaraz and Sabalenka at the 2025 US Open not only underscored their extraordinary talent but also highlighted the rivalries shaping the future of modern tennis.
Alcaraz versus Sinner, Sabalenka versus Anisimova—these contests promise to define the sport for years to come. Once again, New York proved itself the stage for magic, drama, and triumph, reaffirming why the US Open remains one of the world’s most captivating sporting events.
The men’s final took place on Sunday, September 7, in the presence of U.S. President Donald Trump, the first sitting American head of state to attend a Flushing Meadows final since Bill Clinton in 2000.
