Carlos Alcaraz reasserted his superiority over Jannik Sinner with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 win Sunday in the US Open final -- the third Grand Slam tournament in a row in which these rivals met to decide a champion -- for his second title at Flushing Meadows.

Here's the thing about watching Carlos Alcaraz play tennis: He will hit shots no one else would dare try, make them, then crack a smile and rile up a crowd by pointing to his ear or raising his fist.

The US Open has again shattered the record for the largest prize pool in tennis history. The 2025 edition of the tournament featured $90 million in total money up for grabs, a 20% increase from the $75 million pool over last year's event.
