The final of the 2025 US Open will see a men’s singles match between Jannik Sinner, the world number one, and Carlos Alcaraz, ranked number two. This will be their third Grand Slam final match of the year. Alcaraz of Spain reached the final by defeating Novak Djokovic of Serbia in the semi-finals. Sinner of Italy secured his place by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime. The final will be held on September 7th and may be attended by former US President Donald Trump.
There is a possibility that Donald Trump will attend the US Open singles final. His last attendance at the event was in 2015. He has not been to this tournament in New York City since 2016 when he became president. He attended the US Open with his wife, Melania, a decade ago. At that time, John McEnroe, a six-time major champion, greeted Trump. Trump, 79, was born in Queens, New York, the location of the Grand Slam tournament. Trump might attend the final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, both of whom won their semi-final matches.
In the first semi-final, Carlos Alcaraz, ranked number two, defeated Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2, securing his spot in the final. The match at Arthur Ashe Stadium lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes. Alcaraz has maintained an impressive record, not losing a set, and is aiming for his sixth major title and a second title at Flushing Meadows. Since April, Alcaraz has shown dominance with a 44-2 record and has reached the finals of his past eight tour-level matches. He won the French Open in June, while Sinner responded by defeating him at Wimbledon in July. Sinner is eager to repeat that success.
In the second semi-final, Jannik Sinner, the world number one, defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, advancing to his fifth Grand Slam final. This is his fourth Grand Slam final this season. As the defending US Open champion, Sinner has shown great form in this tournament. This will be the third Grand Slam final where Sinner and Alcaraz have played. They previously played in the Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals, where Alcaraz won the French Open, and Sinner won Wimbledon.
Furthermore, Sinner’s victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime gave him his 300th career win, making him the first player born in the 21st century to achieve this. He also joins a small group of players in the Open Era to have reached the finals of all Grand Slams in a single year. Rod Laver (1969), Roger Federer (2006, 2007, 2008), and Novak Djokovic (2015, 2021, 2023) have achieved this before. Sinner, at 24 years old, is the youngest to achieve this milestone.
