The US Open final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday will be for the season’s final major trophy as well as No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
Sinner has held top spot for 65 consecutive weeks since capturing it on 10 June 2024, when he became the first Italian World No. 1. The 24-year-old will now face a winner-takes-all Slam final against his chief rival with a chance to hold his position.
It is a fitting location for the moment, since Alcaraz became the youngest World No. 1 in history after winning the US Open in 2022. That championship match against Casper Ruud was also a winner-takes-all showdown, with the Spaniard earning his maiden major trophy.
Alcaraz was most recently World No. 1 on 10 September 2023 and he has spent 36 weeks atop the PIF ATP Rankings in his career. In 2022 he earned ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours.
The 22-year-old will take a 9-5 Lexus ATP Head2Head series lead into his blockbuster with Sinner. They have also met in the two previous major finals, with Alcaraz saving three championship points to triumph at Roland Garros, and Sinner emerging victorious at Wimbledon.
The US Open final will be played Sunday at 2 p.m. EDT/8 p.m. CEST.
