September 10, 2024: World No. 1 tennis player Yannick Sinner, who was recently cleared of doping charges, continued his outstanding performance by defeating America’s Taylor Fritz in straight sets to win the US Open men’s singles title. Sinner showcased his baseline game at its best in the final held at Arthur Ashe Stadium, defeating the 12th-seeded Fritz with scores of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. This victory further extends the wait for an American men’s singles champion at this year’s final Grand Slam tournament to 21 years. The 23-year-old Italian Sinner stated, “This trophy means a lot to me because the past few years of my career have been quite challenging.” This is Sinner’s second Grand Slam title, having previously won the Australian Open men’s singles earlier this year.
