Alcaraz Smashes Djokovic to Head for Blockbuster US Open Final Against Sinner

At the 2025 US Open, Sinner won his semi-final despite an abdominal injury, marking his 33rd victory in 34 Grand Slam matches and setting up a historic third final against Alcaraz.

  • On Friday, world number one Jannik Sinner battled through abdominal discomfort to defeat Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 at Flushing Meadows, setting a final against Carlos Alcaraz on September 10, 2025 at 3:00 PM.
  • This season, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have repeatedly met in late stages of majors, headlining their third straight Grand Slam final, a first in the Open Era, with Sinner sustaining elite form reaching multiple finals.
  • During the semi-final, Sinner’s streak of 38 service holds ended when Auger-Aliassime led 5-3 with a 99 m.p.h. drive, but Sinner recovered with 33 wins in 34 Grand Slam matches, while Auger-Aliassime converted only one of 10 break points and said he has 'no regrets'.
  • Sinner now needs one more win to defend his title against Alcaraz, who leads their rivalry with three wins in five meetings, after Alcaraz defeated Djokovic 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 Friday.
  • The achievement positions both players as the sport’s next generation, as their repeated final meetings signal a generational shift and cement Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as the future of men’s tennis.
