Jannik Sinner won his first US Open title and second Grand Slam of the year, defeating Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. Sinner's triumph came despite a recent doping controversy, with an independent tribunal ruling the positive tests resulted from unintentional contamination. Taylor Fritz expressed disappointment over his performance, feeling he let down his supporters and prolonging the 21-year wait for an American male Grand Slam champion. Fritz's partner, Morgan Riddle, shared a heartfelt social media tribute, reaffirming her support for him. Sinner's victory was also celebrated by Melissa Satta, Matteo Berrettini's ex-girlfriend, highlighting the Italian star's growing popularity.
