As if his storied season is already quite on the rise, Jannik Sinner adds more to his impressive success this season after capping off his second major title win at the US Open. The Italian star came up with an impressive victory against Taylor Fritz to beat him in home soil for the crown of New York.

What a standout Grand Slam Year it has been for Jannik Sinner so far. He did win the Australian Open with his impressive start to the season, but it cannot be denied that many fans were initially in doubt when he started losing out on the likes of the French Open and Wimbledon. This win in the US Open definitely cements his place at the top of the season with a promising lead on the ATP Rankings.

Fans at the Arthur Ashe Stadium were left with roars and shouts as the two finalists battled it out to a tight finish. But in the end, Sinner used his impressive advantage in his forehand which proved to be the winning ordeal for the Italian star to cap off his massive campaign at this point.

A Triumph to Remember

Sinner assumed control for the whole contest against Fritz – although the first-time major finalist proved to be a tough opponent to beat. The world no. 1 made short work of the American star in their third head-to-head meeting. In a two-hour, 16-minute showdown, Fritz did manage to instill some life in his game after moving ahead 5-3 in the third set, but Sinner went on to reel four straight games to close out the game for good.

"So many big wins for me this season, starting off with Australia," said Sinner. "Playing so well there gave me confidence. The work never stops. I know I can still improve, as we saw today, a couple of things. But you have to be proud with what you have and the rest you have to work for it. I can't wait for my continued process."

With his victory in New York, Sinner wraps up his record for the year at 55-5. He has also extended his streak to 11 wins in a row, winning big in the Cincinnati Open before heading to the US Open. At this point, Sinner now stands with a whopping 11,180 points to cap off the race. Alexander Zverev stands second after a huge run in the same competition while Carlos Alcaraz fell to third after an early upset.

Youngster Dominance

At this point, it is also worth noting that Sinner’s victory has capped off a promising run for young players in the 2024 ATP Tour. Sinner just became the fourth man to win the Australian Open and the US Open on hard courts in the same season – joining Novak Djokic, Roger Federer, and Mats Wilander. He is also the first Italian in men’s singles to win the US Open.

This is the first time that all four majors in the ATP Tour have been won by players at 23 years or younger. Sinner won the Australian Open and the US Open, while Alcaraz clinched the French Open and Wimbledon. This is definitely the start of a new era – with Djokovic also falling from the top three of the ATP Rankings after a disappointing season where he did not win any majors nor ATP Tournaments save for the Paris Olympics.
