Jannik Sinner delivered a powerful performance to become the first Italian man to win the U.S. Open, defeating American Taylor Fritz with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 score in Sunday's final. The victory was celebrated by cheers in Arthur Ashe Stadium, even as local supporters hoped for a U.S. winner.

Sinner entered the tournament under a cloud of controversy due to positive tests for an anabolic agent in March. However, an independent tribunal accepted that the results were due to unintentional contamination. Sinner remained unfazed and clinched his second Grand Slam title, having previously won the Australian Open.

In an intense match, Sinner overcame early nervousness from Fritz, eventually breaking his serve multiple times. The Italian maintained his composure to secure his historic victory. Post-match, Fritz, in a gesture of resilience, promised fans that he would continue striving for success in future tournaments.
