World No.1 Jannik Sinner has beaten Taylor Fritz 6-3 6-4 7-5 with a relentless baseline game to win the US Open men’s singles championship, less than three weeks after being exonerated in a doping case. Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy, won the second grand slam trophy of his nascent career - the other was at the Australian Open in January - and prevented No.12 Fritz from ending a major title drought for American men that has lasted 21 years.
He is the first man since Guillermo Vilas in 1977 to win his first two grand slam trophies in the same season, something such greats as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Federer never accomplished. But Sinner says he has already been reminded to enjoy his life away from tennis “I would like to dedicate this title to my aunt, because she is really not feeling well health-wise,” he said. “I don’t know how much I’ll still have her in my life.
