Carlos Alcaraz is US Open champion for a second time after defeating rival Jannik Sinner in four sets this morning.

The 22-year-old Spaniard claimed his fifth grand slam title, and second of 2025, with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory.

The pair split the grand slams in 2025 after Sinner won the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Either Sinner or Alcaraz have won the past eight grand slam titles.

Loud boos - mixed with a smattering of cheers - greeted President Donald Trump when he was shown on screen between games.

Extra security checks because of Trump’s attendance caused huge lines outside the venue and the match was delayed before starting with many seats still empty.

Trump’s presence at the Grand Slam tennis tournament is the latest in a list of high-profile sports outings since beginning his new term.

It was Trump’s first appearance at Flushing Meadows since 2015 - when the then-presidential candidate and his wife, Melania, were booed on arrival by the crowd.
