Alcaraz Wins Second US Open Title with Thrilling Four-Set Victory Carlos Alcaraz sealed his second US Open title on Sunday, defeating Jannik Sinner in a four-set thriller that saw the Spanish tennis sensation dominate the Italian challenger. The 22-year-old Alcaraz broke Sinner's serve in the first game of the match and never looked back, winning the first set 6-2 in just over half an hour. The second set was more closely contested, with Sinner fighting back to take it 6-3. However, Alcaraz regained his dominance in the third set, firing off a series of aces that left Sinner struggling to keep pace. The fourth and final set proved to be the most intense, with Sinner having several chances to level the match but ultimately faltering under pressure. "I'm over the moon," Alcaraz exclaimed in a post-match interview. "To win my second US Open title is an incredible feeling. I have to thank Jannik for pushing me to my limits – it was a great match." The victory marked a milestone moment for Alcaraz, who now has six majors to his name and supplants Sinner as the world number one tennis player in the ATP rankings.

Sinner, who had been looking to become the first Italian player to win multiple US Open titles, was gracious in defeat. "Carlos played an incredible match," he said. "I gave it my all, but sometimes you just have to tip your hat and say 'well done'."

The crowd was electric throughout the match, with chants of "Alcaraz! Alcaraz!" echoing through the stadium as the Spanish player took control.
