The Italian offered a frank assessment of how he still needs to improve after losing again to rival Carlos Alcaraz at a major.

The American responded with aplomb to one of the questions that needed to be answered entering 2025's final major.

Summing up the final major of the year and where women's tennis goes from here.

Alcaraz snapped Sinner's streak at hard-court Slams and avenged a tough loss at Wimbledon only two months ago.

Alcaraz returns to No. 1 after winning two of three Grand Slam finals vs. Sinner in 2025.

The match will now begin at 2:30 p.m. ET due to heightened security measures at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

The American was broken five times by Aryna Sabalenka, and said the closed roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium made it impossible to see her serve.

Learning from previous Grand Slam heartbreak, Sabalenka stayed in control of her emotions, and her shots, and defended her Open title.

The world No. 1 captured her fourth Grand Slam title and first of the season in Flushing Meadows.

At Roland Garros, it was Alcaraz who reached his peak; at Wimbledon, it was Sinner. Who will get to the summit in New York?

The Spaniard has now won 44 of 46 matches and hasn’t dropped a set en route to his second final at Flushing Meadows.
