Carlos Alcaraz strengthened his lead in Big Titles over Jannik Sinner by claiming victory in the US Open final against the Italian.
With his latest win, Alcaraz now has 14 Big Titles—comprised of Grand Slam championships, Nitto ATP Finals wins, ATP Masters 1000 titles, and Olympic singles gold medals. His six Grand Slam titles place him just behind Novak Djokovic, who holds 24. Sinner, meanwhile, has nine Big Titles to his name.
Before the start of the 2025 season, Alcaraz had never secured more than three Big Titles in a single year. Now, at just 22, he has triumphed in five of them this season, capturing two of the four Grand Slams: Roland Garros and the US Open. He also has opportunities to further bolster his tally in Shanghai, Paris, and the Nitto ATP Finals.

Alcaraz has captured multiple titles at three of the four Grand Slam tournaments: Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Now, as the new No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, he aims to complete his career Grand Slam at the Australian Open, a tournament where he has yet to advance past the quarterfinals.
By securing his sixth major title, Alcaraz has equaled the records of legends Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg, sitting just one win away from tying with John McEnroe and Mats Wilander, all members of the prestigious ATP No. 1 Club.
This marks the second consecutive year that Alcaraz and Sinner have split the four Slam titles, dominating the majors with eight wins between them.
