It\u2019s unbelievable what you\u2019re doing the whole season; great level during every tournament that you\u2019re playing\u2026 I\u2019m seeing you more than my family,\u201d said Alcaraz, who took his win-loss record with Sinner to 10-5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great to share a court, to share the locker room, to share everything with you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just really proud about the people I have around. Every achievement I\u2019m having is because of you, thanks to you\u2026 This one is yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As grey clouds hovered over the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium, Alcaraz continued to deliver the sunshine tennis that has lit up Flushing Meadows over the last two weeks, consolidating an early break by faking a drop to hit a winner that wrong-footed Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>He beamed after pulling off an outrageous half-volley at the net, and wrapped up the opening set shortly afterwards, finishing it off with a big serve, which Sinner crashed into the net as the Italian\u2019s metronomic precision briefly deserted him. But Sinner hit back to take the next set after saving an early break point.<\/p>\n<p>It was the third straight Grand Slam final between the duo this year.<\/p>\n<p>After missing a few steps to drop his first set of the championship, Alcaraz blasted his way to a 5-0 advantage in the third set before Sinner got on the board, and the Spaniard closed it out with a monster serve.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner conjured up two breathtaking volleys in the opening game of the fourth set to roaring applause and held serve after being pushed to the limit again. But he cracked under the pressure and handed the crucial break to Alcaraz in the fifth game.<\/p>\n<p>Resembling a flamingo in full flight in his bright pink vest, Alcaraz soared ahead to secure the victory on his third match point, and celebrated by raising his fists before a warm embrace with his rival and wild celebrations with his team.<\/p>\n<p>A dejected Sinner was left to contemplate another Grand Slam final loss to Alcaraz this season after coming up short in their French Open epic in June. Although, he beat the Spaniard to take his Wimbledon crown the following month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of big stages and matches we played this season,\u201d Sinner said, after quickly composing himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried my best today.
