“I think that it is a privilege for the tournaments having the president from every country just to support the tournament, to support tennis, and to support the match,” Alcaraz said. “For me, playing in front of him … I will try not to think about it.

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2025 final Live: US President Donald Trump is expected to be at Arthur Ashe Stadium as a guest of Rolex to watch the men's singles final between Alcaraz and Sinner. This will be his first appearance at the stadium since 2015, when he was greeted by American tennis legend John McEnroe. It will also be his latest appearance at a showpiece sports event after trips to the Super Bowl in February and the FIFA Club World Cup final in July.

Any negative reaction to Trump’s presence won’t be shown on ABC’s national telecast, per standard policy, the U.S. Tennis Association says.

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2025 final Live: Although the duo first met each other in the Challenger event in Alicante in 2019, before their first ATP meeting in the 2021 Paris Masters, the 'Sincaraz' rivalry, as fans on social media named it, gained fame after their five-set thriller in the 2022 US Open quarterfinal. The match lasted five hours and 15 minutes and registered a tournament-record 2:50 a.m. ending with Alcaraz winning 6-3, 6-7(7), 6-7(0), 7-5, 6-3. He eventually went on to win the title and become the youngest World No. 1 in ATP Rankings history.

Serving at 5-4 in the fourth set, Sinner missed the cross-court backhand wide off a backhand return from Alcaraz. “My match point I still have it now a little bit in the mind, that I missed the backhand cross,” Sinner said. “But if you don't cancel these situations, you will always think about this, so now it's enough. I don't want to talk anymore about this match.

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2025 final Live: A month after the stellar show in Paris, Sinner and Alcaraz met for the second straight time in a major final, this time at Wimbledon, where Alcaraz was looking for a three-peat. But it was the Italian who came out with a purpose and precision, hammering groundstrokes into Alcaraz's forehand to flip the script. And as the match progressed, his serve grew stronger, and it took away the control from Alcaraz. Sinner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to become the first Italian to win the Wimbledon singles crown.

"It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris," Sinner said during the trophy ceremony. "But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that, and that’s exactly what we did. We tried to accept the loss and just kept working. This is for sure one of the reasons I am holding this trophy here. I am just so grateful that I am healthy and have great people around me, and holding this trophy means a lot."

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2025 final Live: Alcaraz and Sinner never met each other in a Grand Slam final until the Roland Garros final earlier this year, where the Murcian captured his fifth career major in dramatic fashion. He saved three championship points to beat Sinner 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(10-2) and became the third man in the Open Era to save at least one championship point en route to a Slam title.

The match became an instant classic in the fourth set when Alcaraz, at 3-5, 0/40 down, held his nerves to save three championship points on serve and then immediately broke Sinner in the next game to change the momentum in the blink of an eye. The 22-year-old delivered another moment of pure magic in the final set. Having failed to serve it out at 5-4, he regrouped himself to produce his best tennis in the tie-break, where he hit four winners, including one on championship point.

“I just want to say thank you for everything to my team and family;” said Alcaraz. “I have the privilege to be able to live great things with you. I was lucky to have a lot of people who came from Murcia, from home, to support me. It is just amazing support you gave me today, during the whole two weeks, [including] the people who weren’t able to come but are at home. Thank you very much and this trophy is yours as well, so thank you.”

The sweltering conditions in the city left Sinner unwell and gasping for breath as he shook hands with Alcaraz, and then the umpire after just 23 minutes of play, where he was broken thrice to go 0-5 down in the opening set.

Alcaraz's win saw him end Sinner's 26-match winning streak on hard courts, which dates back to October last year. However, the Spaniard said: “This is not the way that I want to win trophies.”
