Alcaraz reclaimed the world number one ranking and supremacy in his rivalry with Sinner by dethroning the Italian to win a second title in New York.

For an unprecedented third time in a season in the open era, the same two men were meeting in a slam final and it was Alcaraz who added to his French Open crown with a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory.

The 22-year-old now owns six grand slam titles - the youngest man since Bjorn Borg to achieve the feat - adding a second trophy here to his French Open and Wimbledon doubles.
