The trophy was given to him by Legends like Andre Agassi, which increased the emotional moment.
"This title means a lot to me," said Sinner, who wrote with this victory as the first Italian in the men's competition at the US Open history. After only a few months full of challenges, among other things because of doping allegations, which fortunately turned out to be unfounded, this victory was all the more important for the 23-year-old. "I love tennis, but I also realized that there is a life outside of the square," he remarked after the game and dedicated the title of his aunt, which are in health.
The support of the stars
Despite the overwhelming soreness, which Taylor Fritz received of celebrities such as Taylor Swift, football star Travis Kelce and other prominent guests, he could not meet the expectations. Fritz, in his first Grand Slam final, felt inferior throughout the game and missed the chance to become the first US winner in New York since Andy Roddick in 2003. "It was great two weeks. Congratulations to Jannik," said Fritz Resigned. "I'm sorry that it didn't work this time." Especially bitter because he had previously thrown the German Alexander Zverev out of the tournament.
The pressure to play in such a prestigious event seemed to overwhelm the 26-year-old. He had difficulty finding his usual shape right from the start. When Fritz sent an overhead ball into the end at the beginning of the first set, he quickly fell behind. Sinner used his opponent's weaknesses and put him under constant pressure, so that Fritz could not defend his serve confidently.
In the second half of the set, the audience also got his money's worth through “USA, USA” calls, but Fritz could not be carried away by it. He had a small rearing when he achieved a break in the third set, but Sinner countered quickly and showed his ice -cold nerve strength. After two hours and 15 minutes the match ball was finally transformed, and the joy of winning the title was tangible.
nervousness and disappointment
Both players started the game nervously. After a missed point by Fritz, which gave up the first break, it became clear early on that the pressure in the final was enormous. Sinner, on the other hand, was more stable and put Fritz under targeted pressure. With his precise blows and constant performance, he broke the resistance of his opponent and secured the first set within only 41 minutes.
The audience hoped for an exciting exchange of blows, but Sinner was on the better player from the first minute. The decision to win the title seemed to be increasingly clear, while Fritz had a trouble finding his usual serve and playing pace. The emotional support from the stars could not compensate for this, but still remained an interesting part of this memorable final.
in a stadium full of prominent guests, from Dustin Hoffman to Jon Bon Jovi, the support for Fritz was ultimately unsuccessful. The entire atmosphere that fans wanted to build could not rival the undeniable sound of Sinner's game. The Italian player not only won one title on this day, but also consolidated his position as one of the greatest talents in tennis.
