Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, aka Sincaraz, rule men’s tennis as the 2025 US Open arrives
August 21, 2025
They’ll still play the full U.S. Open starting Sunday in New York, but it might save some time to skip ahead to the men’s final on Sept. 7. That’s because just about everyone in tennis expects it to be another Grand Slam showdown between Jannik Sinner — assuming he’s healthy — and Carlos Alcaraz. They have combined to win the past seven major championships and played each other to decide the titles at the French Open in June and Wimbledon in July. Five women have divided the past five Grand Slam trophies, a group that includes Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff.
