“I then want to say thank you to everyone who works behind the scenes, and who make the US Open so special. It has been a really long three weeks for me, including qualifying. I can&#8217t wait to come back next year. And thank you, audience. Seeing a packed stadium not only for the finals, but for the whole tournament, makes this place really special. I know you are really important, and we are happy to take the field trying to give our best to give you a great show. See you next year’next year”, concluded an even slightly moved Sinner before the ovation reserved for him by the New York stands.
