The 2025 US Open final is set to be a highlight of the tennis season, featuring a match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. This marks their third consecutive Grand Slam final, an unprecedented event in men’s tennis history. These two athletes have become the faces of the sport in 2025, superseding the dominance of the “Big Three.”
The stakes are high, as the winner will claim not just the US Open title, but also the No. 1 ranking. Recent statistics suggest Sinner has a slight edge. His record at Grand Slams since 2024 is an impressive 45–3, a 93.8% win rate, compared to Alcaraz’s 38–4, a 90.5% win rate. Sinner also excels in sets won (86.3% vs. 76.3%), games won (62.2% vs. 59.4%), and straight-sets victories (70.8% vs. 45.2%).
Their rivalry has unfolded through some of the most exciting matches of the year. They met in the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon finals. The French Open final saw Alcaraz prevail after a remarkable comeback, and the Wimbledon final saw Sinner claim victory with strategic serving and fewer errors. Sinner’s game is distinguished by his steady, precise approach, while Alcaraz brings a blend of flair and passion to the court. Their different styles create a compelling dynamic. The match will be a battle of Sinner’s statistical dominance against Alcaraz’s dynamic play.
