2025 US OPEN RECAP: Alcaraz & Sabalenka Victory, Trump Visits Ashe, "Last American Man", & more

In this special 2025 US Open recap, Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim break down Carlos Alcaraz’s incredible run in New York, including why his win over Jannik Sinner may be his most complete performance yet. They also dive into Sinner’s response, what his next adjustments might look like, and how rivalries push both players to new heights. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka proves she’s not just dominant but clutch, extending her insane tiebreak streak while solidifying her No. 1 ranking. Andy and Jon also react to the chaos surrounding the presidential visit, the state of American men’s tennis, and offer gratitude for outgoing US Open director Stacy Allaster.
