The 2025 US Open men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will take place at 1:00 a.m. on September 8 (Vietnam time). According to Reuters, Mr. Donald Trump will become the first sitting US President in 25 years to attend a US Open final.

The last time a US President did this was Bill Clinton in 2000.

This appearance marks Mr. Trump's return to one of the world's biggest sporting events, right in New York - his hometown.

Mr. Trump's presence will certainly add more excitement to the already dramatic final match between the two "arch-rivals".

Carlos Alcaraz said he would try not to let Trump's presence distract him. "I don't want to stress myself out about it. But I think the president coming to watch a tennis match is great for the sport," the Spaniard said.

Sinner or Alcaraz?

While the attention from the sidelines was focused on the stands, the main focus was on the on-court confrontation between the two best players in the world . This was the third consecutive Grand Slam final between them, showing their absolute dominance over the rest of the tennis world.

Carlos Alcaraz (world No. 2) is in devastating form. For the first time in his career, he reached a Grand Slam final without losing a set.

The overwhelming victory over Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals is the clearest proof of Alcaraz's maturity and stability.

The 2003-born player has the upper hand in the history of their confrontation. He leads Sinner 9-5 and 6-2 on hard courts. Alcaraz has won 45 of his last 47 matches, showing great confidence and form.

Jannik Sinner is the reigning world number one for 65 consecutive weeks and is the defending champion of the tournament. He has also won the last 3 Grand Slam tournaments on hard courts.

It was Sinner who beat Alcaraz in their last major final at Wimbledon 2025. After that loss, Alcaraz admitted he "didn't know what to do" against the all-round Sinner. The world No. 1's experience and character are not to be underestimated.

However, Sinner took more than three hours to overcome Auger-Aliassime in the US Open semi-finals and admitted to feeling a slight spasm in his abdomen, affecting his ability to serve. His fitness could be a factor in the final.

This “big battle” is almost impossible to predict. However, expert Steve Tignor commented that although it is difficult to choose a winner, based on the performance in the past two weeks, he is leaning towards Alcaraz.

On forums, tennis fans also believe that the Spanish player will win the 2025 US Open.
