In 2025, Jannik Sinner<\/a> has already carved out a Grand Slam season that stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the most commanding years in history, but the US Open<\/a> still offers him the chance to step into even rarer company.<\/p>\n With titles at the Australian Open<\/a> and Wimbledon<\/a> either side of a run to the Roland Garros<\/a> final, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings is closing in on becoming the seventh man in the Open Era to win three Grand Slam titles in a single season. That bitter defeat to rival Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in Paris, in which he let slip three championship points, means that Sinner could enter an even rarer group in New York.<\/p>\n If Sinner successfully defends his title at the US Open<\/a>, he would become just the fourth man to win three majors in a season and reach the championship match in the fourth, joining Roger Federer<\/a>, Novak Djokovic<\/a>, and Rod Laver<\/a>.<\/p>\n The achievement of winning three major titles and reaching the final in the fourth is notoriously difficult to pull off. Federer\u2019s triple-major years in 2006 and 2007 were denied perfection only by Nadal on the clay of Roland Garros<\/a>. Djokovic has done it three times, but even he knows the sting of coming close to something bigger.<\/p>\n In 2021, the Serbian arrived at the US Open<\/a> having won the first three major titles, only to fall at the last hurdle, where he was defeated in straight sets by Daniil Medvedev<\/a> in the final. Time and time again, the season’s closing major has drawn the line between greatness and sporting immortality.<\/p>\n Men in the Open Era to win three major titles in one season<\/p>\n \u00a0Player \u00a0Rod Laver<\/a> \u00a0Jimmy Connors<\/a> \u00a0Mats Wilander<\/a> \u00a0Roger Federer<\/a> \u00a0Roger Federer<\/a>* \u00a0Roger Federer<\/a>* \u00a0Rafael Nadal<\/a> \u00a0Novak Djokovic<\/a> \u00a0Novak Djokovic<\/a>* \u00a0Novak Djokovic<\/a>* \u00a0Novak Djokovic<\/a>* *Won three majors and reached the final in the fourth<\/p>\n Sinner will step onto that stage at the US Open<\/a> as defending champion and a proven force on hard courts. Despite seeing his 26-match winning streak on the surface snapped by his retirement against Alcaraz in the Cincinnati final, the 24-year-old Italian is unbeaten at the hard-court majors since his fourth-round loss to Alexander Zverev<\/a> in five sets in New York in 2023.<\/p>\n If he were to win a fourth consecutive major title on the surface, and successfully defend his crown at the US Open<\/a>, Sinner will stand alone as the first man to win three majors in a season and hold match points in the final of the other. It is a reminder of how human this pursuit can be, where history often hinges on single points.<\/p>\n Despite not coming within a point of victory, Djokovic knows that feeling too, having lost an absorbing five-set Wimbledon<\/a> final to Alcaraz in 2023 \u2014 the same year he nonetheless won three Grand Slam titles in a season for the fourth time in his career.<\/p>\n![\"It](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755793027_624_it-all-adds-up-banner.jpg\"\/)
