World number one Jannik Sinner captured the US Open title on Sunday evening, defeating American Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. This victory marks Sinner’s second Grand Slam title of the year, following his triumph at the Australian Open earlier this season.
Fritz, ranked 12th, was hoping to break the 21-year drought for American men in Grand Slam singles titles, last won by Andy Roddick in 2003. Despite the enthusiastic support of the home crowd, Fritz was unable to overcome Sinner’s relentless play and precision.
Sinner’s commanding performance throughout the match showcased his powerful baseline game, mental fortitude, and strategic shot-making. He maintained control in key moments, especially during the third set, where he broke Fritz late to seal the straight-sets victory.
This win solidifies Sinner’s status as the dominant force in men’s tennis in 2024, adding another major trophy to his growing collection and highlighting his incredible rise in the sport.
