He’s now 6-1 in Grand Slam finals. Alcaraz’s only career loss in a major final came at Wimbledon earlier this year, when Sinner ended his campaign for a third straight title there, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
He’s now 14-3 in “big” finals, too. With finals at Masters 1000 events (8-1) and the Olympics (0-1) included, in Alcaraz you’ve got someone with an incredible win rate of 82% when there’s a “big” title on the line.
Speaking of playing well with big things on the line, he’s now 3-0 in Grand Slam finals where the No. 1 ranking is on the line. He beat Casper Ruud in the 2022 US Open final, Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final and now Sinner in the 2025 US Open final—in all three championships, whoever won would leave as No. 1, and the Spaniard came through every single time.
And with that, Alcaraz is now back at No. 1 on the ATP rankings. He snapped Sinner’s 65-week reign at as ATP No. 1, and this week is the Spaniard’s 37th non-consecutive week at the top spot.
On this week’s rankings, he didn’t just surpass 10,000 ranking points for the first time in his career, he surpassed 11,000. He now has 11,540 points on his ranking, shattering his previous best of 9,815 from 2023.
With his victory over Sinner in the final, he’s now 6-2 in his career against reigning world No. 1s. That includes 1-1 against Djokovic when he’s ranked No. 1 and 5-1 against Sinner when he’s holding the top spot.
He’s the second man to beat the reigning world No. 1 in two major finals in a season, since ATP rankings began in 1973. Nadal did it twice in 2008 against Federer, in the Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals.
