NEW YORK (Reuters) - A brilliant Carlos Alcaraz ended the reign of Jannik Sinner on Sunday to capture the U.S. Open title again and tighten his grip on the era-defining rivalry between the torch-bearers of the men's game.
In a perfect echo of the triumph that first propelled him to world number one in 2022, Alcaraz's 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 win took him back to the summit of the rankings, as the 22-year-old Spaniard displaced Sinner and increased his Grand Slam trophy haul to six.
