Alcaraz extends Big Titles lead over Sinner with sixth Slam title

Carlos Alcaraz extended his Big Titles lead over rival Jannik Sinner by defeating the Italian in the US Open final on Sunday.

Alcaraz now owns 14 Big Titles — a combination of Grand Slam championships, trophies at the Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and Olympic singles gold medals — and has earned six majors, the second-most Slam trophies of any active player behind only Novak Djokovic (24). Sinner owns nine Big Titles.

Before the 2025 season, Alcaraz had never claimed more than three Big Titles in a season. The 22-year-old has now won five of them this year, including two of the four majors: Roland Garros and the US Open. He will also have opportunities to add Big Titles in Shanghai, Paris and the Nitto ATP Finals.

Big Titles Won: Alcaraz & Sinner

Alcaraz has earned multiple trophies at three of the four Grand Slam tournaments: Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. The new No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings will try to complete his career Grand Slam at the Australian Open, where he has never advanced past the quarter-finals.

By earning his sixth major crown, Alcaraz is now level with Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg, and is one victory from tying John McEnroe and Mats Wilander. All those stars are members of the ATP No. 1 Club.

It is the second consecutive season in which Alcaraz and Sinner have split the four Slams. They have combined to triumph at eight straight majors.

Alcaraz has won a Big Title for every 3.8 tournaments he has played in his career. Only Djokovic (3.3) and Rafael Nadal (3.5) have triumphed at a better rate than the Spaniard, with all-time greats like Roger Federer (4.4), Pete Sampras (4.9) and Andre Agassi (6.1) behind him.
