Jannik Sinner is already in the final of the US Open and is positioned as the top favorite to win the championship, potentially securing his second Grand Slam trophy to add to his collection and extending his streak as the world number one after a successful year, albeit slightly tarnished by the controversial positive test for Clostebol from which he has been cleared.
Simone Vagnozzi, as the coach of Jannik Sinner, has spoken before the final of the US Open 2024 that his pupil will play against Taylor Fritz, reviewing the matches that led him to the final and the work process they are undergoing together with the entire team.
- A Tense Final
The US Open final is anticipated with great excitement as a local player is involved, a circumstance not seen since the 2006 edition when Andy Roddick fell to Roger Federer. Vagnozzi has referred to the tension of the final: "There will surely be some tension in the final, being Fritz's first major final and in the United States... I don't think there will be no tension. However, in tennis, the strongest is the one who handles these matches the best. Jannik arrives here as the world number one, with more pressure on his shoulders and the feeling of not being the favorite, but one of the favorites. He is managing this situation very well."
- Evolution as a Tennis Player
"Jannik is growing as a man, difficult situations help him gain experience, as well as the good ones. In Australia, I felt an extra sense of freshness since it was his first Grand Slam final. As a team, we always aim to evolve, so we tailor our training based on the opponents. We do things differently when playing against Medvedev, Draper, or Fritz."
"We try to make Sinner not only a player competing against himself, but also against his opponent. While this may suffice against players further down in the rankings, it is crucial when facing high-level opponents to identify their weaknesses. For example, against Draper, it was exactly the type of match we expected, with quite long rallies and tension from both sides; however, Jack struggles when points are extended, and Jannik knew how to capitalize on this, so that was the goal."
