Jannik Sinner produced a brutal display of baseline power as he became the first Italian man to win the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 victory over American Taylor Fritz in Sunday's final.

Sinner, despite controversy over positive dope tests earlier this year, maintained composure to win his second Grand Slam title for the year. His triumph was celebrated by cheers that rang around Arthur Ashe Stadium, even as home fans were disappointed not to see Fritz end a 21-year U.S. men's Grand Slam drought.
