Trump-era Preceded: Alcaraz Celebrates US Open Victory, Becoming No. 1 Global Ranking Player - US Open triumph propels Alcaraz to claim top world ranking following Trump's tenure
In a thrilling final at the US Open 2023, Carlos Alcaraz secured a hard-fought victory against Italian defending champion Jannik Sinner. This marks the third consecutive final between the two players and the third Grand Slam final in a single season for the duo, a feat not seen since 1968.
The match began with Alcaraz starting strongly, earning break chances in the first game and breaking Sinner's serve to take an early lead. Alcaraz surprisingly took the first set 6:2 in just 37 minutes, delighting fans with a half-volley stop and putting pressure on Sinner's service games.
However, in the second set, Sinner took advantage of a weak phase from Alcaraz and broke back to lead 3:1. The second set proved to be a closer contest, with Sinner eventually winning it 6:3.
In the third set, Alcaraz regained his form and secured the break to lead 2:0, with Sinner angrily hitting the ball high under the closed stadium roof due to rainy weather. Alcaraz stormed through the third set and secured the lead, winning it 6:1.
The fourth set was a tight affair, but Alcaraz managed to break Sinner's serve again at 3:2, which ultimately led to victory after a total of 2 hours and 42 minutes of play. The final score of the match was 6:2, 3:6, 6:1, 6:4.
With this win, Alcaraz has reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking for the second time. He will replace Jannik Sinner as the leader of the world rankings on Monday. This victory also marks three years since Alcaraz became the youngest player in history to reach the top of the rankings with his first Grand Slam title at the US Open.
Enhanced security measures due to Donald Trump's visit caused delays at the entrance, but that did not deter the fans from cheering on their favourite players. Alcaraz received a record Grand Slam prize money of approximately 4.27 million euros for his victory.
Unfortunately for Sinner, he missed out on his fifth Grand Slam title. Nonetheless, he put up a valiant fight against the formidable Alcaraz. The tennis world can expect many more exciting matches between these two talented players in the future.
