Maybe the first U.S. Open final between young, elite rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner wasn't as long, riveting, and dramatic as their matchup to decide the championship at the French Open.
Maybe the first U.S. Open final between young, elite rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner wasn't as long, riveting, and dramatic as their matchup to decide the championship at the French Open. Perhaps it wasn't as seemingly meaningful and plot-driven as their showdown for the Wimbledon trophy.
Still, the No. 2-seeded Alcaraz's 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over No. 1 Sinner on Sunday was significant. Alcaraz reasserted his superiority over the defending champion, wresting away the top spot in the ATP rankings and leaving tennis fans eager for their next clash. They are the first two men in the sport's history to face each other in three consecutive Grand Slam finals within a single season.
"I'm seeing you more than my family," Alcaraz joked during the trophy ceremony, eliciting a grin from Sinner. "It's great to share the court, to share the locker rooms, everything."

The BNP’s victory
Bangladesh has proved that its unity is not merely tribal but like India, symbolic of unity in diversity.
