Jannik Sinner Wins US Open Title

Jannik Sinner captured his second Grand Slam title by defeating Taylor Fritz in the US Open final, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. The match, which lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes, marked Sinner's sixth title of the season and solidified his position as the world No. 1. His victory comes on the heels of a doping controversy, where he was exonerated after testing positive for a banned substance earlier in the year. Sinner expressed that the mental aspect of his game was crucial during the tournament, especially given the distractions he faced. With this win, he prevented Fritz from ending a 21-year drought for American men at Grand Slam tournaments. Both players received substantial prize money, with Sinner earning $3.6 million from a total prize pool of $75 million.
