Beyond the trophy and the $5,000,000 prize, the victory carries even greater significance: it propels Alcaraz back to the pinnacle of men’s tennis, reclaiming the ATP World No. 1 ranking.
He now leads his storied rivalry with Sinner, holding a 10-5 career head-to-head record and winning seven of their last eight meetings.
