New York – making an open US statement, Carlos Alcaraz fell a 131 mph call point to paint his return to the top.
Reduing a service winner at his third point of the championship, Alcaraz fell to his knees and rose again as the number 1 world.
A dynamic champion of deflected Alcarazi defense Jannik sinful 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to capture his second US championship Open and sinful supplement like world no. 1.
The 22-year-old Spanish claimed his sixth career championship Grand Slam, avenging his four-set loss to sin in Wimbledon’s final and collected a $ 5 million Grand Record champion.
“When you reach the goals you set yourself at the beginning of the year, it feels amazing,” Alcaraz said. “Since I had the opportunity to regain No. 1, it was one of the first goals I had during the season, just to try to recover No. 1 as soon as possible or finish the year as No. 1.
“For me, reach it once again, it is, as I said, it’s a dream. By doing the same day when getting another Grand Slam feels even better. It is all that I’m working on, and I’m really happy to live these experiences.”

“I feel like I can reach every ball, which gives me the confidence and security of making good points and being able to play with variety. So I simply, because when I was really young, I just got that feeling of everything. Just come into the net, playing from the beginning, the fall, the slices.”

“Well, I was very predictable today, you know. In court on his way did a lot of things. He
changed the game, “Sinner said.” This is also his style of how he plays. Now it will be on me whether I want to make changes or not, do you know? This is obviously we will work on this.
“I am trying to be more prepared for the next match what I will play against him.”
Graising in the loss, Sinner said that Alcaraz simply exceeded it today, taking a 10-5 lead in their head-to-head series.
“I felt like he was doing everything a little better today, especially serving, both sides, both swing a lot

“Yes, he raised his level when he needed it, so yes, I mean, I’m still proud of myself, the season I’m playing and doing. But yes, he played better than I am today.”
