About the tennis stars

With the win in the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz officially returned to No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the first time in two years, replacing Jannik Sinner.

“When you achieve the goals you set up (for) yourself at the beginning of the year, it feels amazing,” the 22-year-old from Spain said after winning his second title at Flushing Meadows and his sixth Grand Slam trophy.“For me,” he said,“(to) achieve that once again ... is a dream.”

Carlos Alcaraz moved up from No. 2 and swapped places with Sinner by virtue of a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over him in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday. Sinner had held No. 1 since making his debut there in June 2024, a 65-week stay.

Aryna Sabalenka beat Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6 (3) to become the first repeat champion at the US Open since Serena Williams won three in a row from 2012-14.

The 27-year-old from Belarus, who has held the No. 1 ranking throughout the year, leads the WTA Tour with 56 wins.

“After the Australian Open, I thought that the right way would be just to forget it and move on. But then the same thing happened at the French Open," said Sabalenka, who showed up at her post-match news conference with a bottle of Champagne and a pair of dark goggles atop her head.“So after French Open, I figured that, OK, maybe it's time for me to sit back and to look at those finals and to maybe learn something, because I didn't want it to happen again and again and again.”
