Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud met in the US Open final, both looking for their first Grand Slam championship and the world No. 1 ranking, the first time the two men competed for the same honours. Alcaraz, 19, lifted the trophy, making him the youngest number one and the first teenager to do it. He was on the court for a total of 23 hours and 40 minutes.
