Carlos Alcaraz reigns again in NYC! 👑
The 22-year-old Spaniard topped rival Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in Sunday’s US Open final to snag his second title at Flushing Meadows, sixth career Slam, and a record-setting $5M payday, the largest in ATP history. 👀
The win caps a four-Slam split between the sport’s next great rivalry: Alcaraz (French Open, US Open) vs. Sinner (Aussie Open, Wimbledon). 🎾
The duo have now combined to win the last eight majors. With Alcaraz reclaiming the world No. 1 spot and both stars still in their early 20s, the post–Big Three era looks plenty stacked. 👀
On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka defended her crown Saturday, downing Amanda Anisimova in straight sets for a cool $5M prize, putting her career earnings at $42.2M, third all-time behind Venus and Serena. 💪
