By the numbers: Carlos Alcaraz's stellar record at US Open
What's the story
The top singles men are set to brace the 2025 US Open, starting August 24. Among them is Carlos Alcaraz, the five-time major champion. The Spaniard has been a force to reckon with, having won the 2025 French Open. Alcaraz's rivalries with Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are once again expected to headline the year's final Grand Slam. Here's his US Open record.

Quarter-final in maiden shot
