Has Carlos Alcaraz ever had a better serving tournament than this?

Feels like night and day compared to how often he was put through the wringer at SW19. #USOpen

And still, no man in the Open Era has won the #USOpen title without dropping a set.

Can’t imagine Donald Trump was in line for a warm reception from the US Open crowd, but it might be even worse than expected after this.

Farcical. #USOpen

In the Open Era, only three men have reached all four Grand Slam tournament finals in an individual season.

Jannik Sinner can make that four at the #USOpen on Friday ⬇️

Second straight year in which two WTA players will meet at three straight Grand Slams:

2024: Paolini def Andreescu at RG, SW19, USO.
2025: Sabalenka vs Anisimova at RG, SW19...and now the #USOpen final.

Hadn't happened since 2007 (Serena-Henin) before 2024.

53 days between Amanda Anisimova losing 6-0, 6-0 to Swiatek at Wimbledon and then producing *that* performance today to turn the tables.

A brilliant win. #USOpen

Novak Djokovic, aged 38 and perhaps not at his best physically, is still conclusively the third-best player on the ATP right now.

Remarkable for him, but a little eyebrow-raising for anyone who's not Alcaraz or Sinner. #USOpen

Plenty to be said (and I'm sure will be said) about Coco Gauff, but that was scintillating from Naomi Osaka.

Tennis is so much healthier with her in it and playing well. #USOpen

Krejcikova could barely make the court for the first hour of this match, but all eight of those MP saves were incredible.

So, so clutch and she’s probably the favourite to win this now. #USOpen
