Jannik Sinner, smooth finish: he’s ready for history

After Australian Open, dreams of US Open

The day of the final è has arrived. Today Jannik Sinner will challenge, in the last act of the US Open, Taylor Fritz, the home favorite. Up for grabs is a trophy they both hold dear. For the current world No. 1, it would be the second Slam of his young career, the second in this triumphant season.

Never has any Italian ever won a final at the US Open but Jannik Sinner is aiming to do better, that is, to win this tournament. So far, his path è has been a continuous crescendo. Now he needs the final treble against Taylor Fritz, crystal clear talent and new American pride.

The Italian played the last practice session without a hitch. The wrist problem encountered in the match against Jack Draper now seems to be resolved. Jannik Sinner is well and è ready for yet another career challenge. He will have, as always, all eyes on him. Absolutely normal when you è the world number 1 on the circuit.

The record between the two finalists è in perfect parity: one win each. They have played each other twice in Indian Wells. On the first occasion, in 2021, Taylor Fritz won. In 2023, on the other hand, success è went to the Azure in the tournament quarterfinals. Today everything will be different because, up for grabs, is the US Open trophy. Jannik Sinner has already won one Slam title but wants to go up to two right away.
