Registering a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory, Alcaraz clinched his sixth Grand Slam title, making history, and even clinched the world number one spot from Sinner. It is worth noting that the US Open has the highest prize money out of all the Grand Slams, and winning the tournament, the Spaniard won Rs. 44.05 crore.
As for the runner-up, Jannik Sinner, the Italian superstar won a sum of Rs. 22.03 crore for finishing in second place in the tournament. Notably, Sinner was in incredible form throughout the US Open, dropping just one set on his way to the final. He had a hard court win streak of 27 matches, but Alcaraz’s might proved to be too much to handle for the four-time Grand Slam champion.
