high Stakes and Potential Records

For Sinner, 24, a victory would secure his fifth career Grand Slam title and mark the first prosperous defence of his US Open crown as Roger Federer achieved the feat in 2007-2008. He is currently on a Slam-level unbeaten streak on hard courts dating back to the 2024 Australian Open and could complete a ‘historical poker’ of hard-court major titles.
Alcaraz, 22, seeks his second US Open title (following his 2022 win) and his sixth overall Grand Slam. A win would make him the second-youngest player, after bjorn Borg, to reach six major championships.

Road to the Final

Sinner has demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the tournament, dropping only two sets. Alcaraz has been equally dominant, reaching the final without conceding a single set – a rare accomplishment in US Open history. No player has ever won the US Open title with a perfect record.
