Jannik Sinner’s Historic 2025 Season Continues with US Open Final Appearance

A Year of Unprecedented Achievement

At just 24 years old, Jannik Sinner has made tennis history by becoming the youngest man in the Open Era to reach all four Grand Slam finals in one season. His remarkable 2025 campaign includes winning the Australian Open, finishing runner-up at Roland Garros, and claiming the Wimbledon title.

He joins an elite group of tennis legends as only the fourth man in the Open Era to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a season, alongside Rod Laver, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. The previous record for the youngest player to achieve this feat was held by Roger Federer, who accomplished it shortly after turning 25 in 2006.

Path to the US Open Final

Sinner secured his place in the US Open final with a determined victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime, winning 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday night at Flushing Meadows. The victory marked his 300th career match win.

With an impressive 36-4 season record, Sinner has set another milestone as the youngest man to record 25 wins at the majors in a single season, surpassing Mats Wilander’s previous record set in 1988.

Battle for World No. 1

The upcoming final carries significant implications as both the World No. 1 ranking – which Sinner has held for 65 consecutive weeks – and the last Grand Slam title of 2025 are at stake. The match will mark a historic moment as it will be the first time in the Open Era that two players have contested three major finals in the same season.

Looking Ahead

Despite requiring medical treatment during his semifinal match, Sinner remains confident about the final, stating that his condition is “nothing too bad” and that he “served after always a little bit faster again.” Reflecting on his rivalry with Alcaraz, Sinner acknowledged their evolution as players, noting, “We are two different players now, different confidence, too. Let’s see what’s coming.”
