Jannik Sinner has claimed his second grand slam title of the year with a straight sets victory over American Taylor Fritz to win the US Open.
The Italian world No 1, who was cleared after failing a drugs test this year, won 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 to deny the first local male winner since 2003.
It bookends a brilliant 2024 for Sinner who started the year with victory at the Australian Open, his first grand slam title, before claiming the No 1 spot for the first time.
Today’s men’s final lasted two hours and 15 minutes, only 22 minutes longer than yesterday’s women’s final.
Sinner takes home $NZ5.83m for winning the US Open with Fritz awarded a runner-up prize of NZ$2.9m.
