Carlos Alcaraz claimed the latest chapter of his compelling rivalry against Jannik Sinner with a four-set victory to regain the US Open title.
Spain's Alcaraz started strongly, weathered a second-set fightback from Italy's Sinner, before powering to a 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory in New York.
The men's final was delayed by half an hour because of extra security measures put in place due to US President Donald Trump's presence.
Once under way, the pair produced another engaging contest - albeit short of the drama and quality of their French Open and Wimbledon finals earlier this year.
