Alcaraz capitalized with the serve in the eighth game of the fourth set. He then put all his energy into the 10th game, capitalizing on some of Sinner’s unforced errors.
Sinner struggled with his service during the match. The Italian came into the final as one of the best but he had four double faults and only two aces during the match. He was unable to overcome his struggles to pick up the win.
Trump was a big focus of the match. He entered Arthur Ashe Stadium with less than an hour to go before the match started. But increased security measures around the building kept a ton of fans outside as the event began. The match got underway at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Alcaraz appeared to be interested in Trump’s appearance before the final.
