Carlos Alcaraz has reclaimed the World No.1 ranking after lifting the US Open 2025 title. On Sunday, September 7, the Spaniard took two hours and 42 minutes to defeat Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in front of a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Sinner had climbed to the top of the rankings last year after Novak Djokovic withdrew from the French Open 2024 quarterfinals with a knee injury. The Italian stayed at No.1 for 65 weeks before Alcaraz dethroned him.
For Alcaraz, this marks his first return to the summit since September 2023. He initially rose to World No.1 in 2022 after beating Casper Ruud in the US Open final, becoming the first teenager in history to claim the top spot.
