SportsLine tennis expert Jose Onorato reveals his top 2025 US Open men's bets for the final grand slam of the season
Carlos Alcaraz heads to the U.S. Open in his now-familiar role as chief challenger to defending champion Jannik Sinner and the Spaniard will be driven this year by the twin pursuit of Grand Slam glory and the world number one ranking.
The two battled for 4 hours, 19 minutes, but Alcaraz came through 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2. His 2024 French Open title sits alongside his triumphs at the 2022 US Open and at last year's Wimbledon.
The highly-anticipated final at the Cincinnati Open came to a sad ending on Monday, as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner was forced to retire from the match against No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz while trailing 5-0 due to illness. With the result, Alcaraz wins his third Masters 1000 title of the season and his eighth overall in his storied young career.
