Fritz solidified his place at the top of the tennis world and marked his 55th match win and sixth title of the season.
Jannik Sinner captured his second Grand Slam title of 2024 on Sunday, defeating Taylor Fritz in straight sets to claim the US Open crown. In doing so, Sinner dashed American hopes of crowning a male Grand Slam champion for the first time in 21 years.
The 23-year-old world number one, who secured his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open earlier this year, made history by becoming the first Italian man to win the US Open. His 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 victory over Fritz solidified his place at the top of the tennis world and marked his 55th match win and sixth title of the season.
Sinner’s triumph comes in a year that has seen him and 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz emerge as the dominant forces in men’s tennis. With Alcaraz capturing the French Open and Wimbledon titles to bring his Grand Slam total to four, both players are firmly establishing themselves as the new powerhouses of the sport.
Sinner’s relentless performance throughout the tournament showcased his skill, composure, and determination, cementing his place as one of the top players in the world and a major force in tennis’s new era.
