Jannik Sinner, the new U.S. Open champion, advances quickly.
He believes it is a good sign for the future.
Sinner, currently ranked at the top of the ATP standings, recently achieved another Grand Slam victory by defeating Taylor Fritz with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 at Flushing Meadows.
Sinner's achievement of winning two major titles in the same season, following his Australian Open championship win in January, solidifies his accomplishments. This marks the first time this has happened since 1977.
How? He mentioned the match with Fritz.
The weak point of Sinner is acknowledged, but his statistics are impressive: he has achieved an 88% success rate with his first serve.
Sinner, a 6-foot-4 player, dominated the baseline with his exceptional instincts and reach, hitting every ball forcefully. He broke Fritz three times in the first set and six times overall, despite Fritz's strong record of losing only nine out of 107 service games previously.
Fritz, who secured victories over Sinner in both 2021 and 2023, has become the initial American male player in a major singles final after a gap of fifteen years. Fritz believes that Sinner has to improve most on his mobility and serve.
Fritz put Plan B into action on Sunday, giving sustained rallying a higher priority than looking for quick victory. Still, it seemed to him that Sinner was far more powerful than he was.
Sinner has performed exceptionally well on a variety of court types, such as grass at Wimbledon and clay at the French Open.
The confidence he had gained from his triumph against Djokovic in the quarterfinals and his comeback victory over Medvedev in the final at the Australian Open was crucial.
He called winning the title a "relief" because it proved that he could win a Grand Slam.
Because of the pre-tournament conditions and increased pressure, Sinner characterized the U.S. Open as special.
His stunning double major triumph in 2024 took everyone by surprise. It makes sense, considering Djokovic's remarkable record as a 37-year-old 24-time Slam champion and Carlos Alcaraz's outstanding play at age 21.
Power has shifted from Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal to young talents Alcaraz and Sinner this season.
In men's tennis, the two young players excelled, taking home a combined four first places. This event is noteworthy because it ends a run of defeats for all three of the Big Three that began in 2002.
