Carlos Alcaraz savours ‘best tournament’ of his career after claiming second US Open title

• New No 1 dropped just one set on way to his sixth grand slam title

• This tournament I saw that I can play really consistent,' he says

Carlos Alcaraz described his US Open title run as the best tournament of his career after he defeated his rival Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in New York to win his sixth grand slam title.

Alcaraz's victory caps off an incredible five-month run for the 22-year-old, who has reached the final of his last eight tournaments, winning six titles including the French Open and US Open. While many of Alcaraz's previous triumphs included numerous five-set battles and dramatic comebacks - such as his recovery from triple match point down to defeat Sinner over five sets in Paris - this was by far the most efficient tournament of his career. Alcaraz dropped just one set in his seven matches and he lost his serve just three times in the entire tournament.
