Alcaraz capitalized with the series in the eighth game in the fourth set. Then he put all his energy into the 10th game and capitalized some of Sinner’s unfair mistakes.
Sinner struggled with his service during the fight. The Italian entered the final as one of the best, but he had four double errors and only two aces during the match. He was unable to overcome his matches to pick up the victory.
Trump was a big focus in the fight. He went into Arthur Ashe Stadium with less than an hour to go before the match started. But increased security measures around the building kept plenty of fans outside when the event began. The match started at. 14:30 ET.
Alcaraz seemed to be interested in Trump’s performance before the final.

“I think it is a privilege for the tournaments that has the president of each country just to support the tournament, to support tennis and support the match,” he said via The Guardian. “For me playing in front of him … I will try not to think about it.
“I don’t want me to be nervous because of it, but I think I’m attending the tennis match, it’s great for tennis to have the president in the final.”
Trump was seen cheering for Alcaraz after he wrapped up the match.
Alcaraz won his first US open title back in 2022 over Casper Ruud. This year, Alcaraz won the French Open earlier this year and lost in the Wimbledon final. He ended in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
The 22-year-old has six Grand Slam titles on his resume, where the Australian Open is the only great tournament he has not won.
