Carlos Alcaraz triumphed in the latest chapter of his compelling rivalry with Jannik Sinner, earning a four-set victory to regain the US Open title.
Spain's Alcaraz started strongly and weathered a second-set fightback from Italy's Sinner, before powering to a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory in New York.
The men's final was delayed by half an hour because of extra security measures put in place due to US president Donald Trump's presence.
Once under way, the pair produced another engaging contest - albeit short of the drama and quality of their French Open and Wimbledon finals earlier this year.
Reigning French Open champion Alcaraz's superior serving, an area which let him down against Sinner at the All England Club, ensured he reclaimed the US Open title that he first won in 2022.
