There was no room for surprise. Jannik Sinner asserted his favoritism with the naturalness that being a well-established world number 1 provides. The Italian left Taylor Fritz without arguments, overwhelmed by the circumstances, performing well below expectations and offering no resistance to Sinner's consistent game, the newly crowned champion of the US Open 2024 with a score of 6-3 6-4 7-5.
Geniuses have something special that is recognized in small details. Perhaps Jannik Sinner is not the most charismatic player in the world or the one with the most exquisite tennis, but the combination of tactical and technical resources he possesses is perfectly suited to today's tennis and makes him a lethal player. However, most remarkable is how he has developed those unique skills that only great champions possess. His title at the US Open 2024 paves the way for a legendary career.
From the initial moments of the first set, it was clear that Fritz was not as inspired as in previous rounds. Bewildered and intimidated by the environment, the American made errors without aiming for anything special with his shots, finding himself confined to the back of the court against Sinner's effective directional changes. He managed to break ahead on the scoreboard after a hesitant start and gained great confidence.
- Fritz was far from his best and only showed a hint of a comeback in the third set
Things did not change in a second set where Taylor continued to be clearly dominated by the Italian. Sinner applied pressure when needed, held back when necessary, changed directions, and found a very profitable resource in drop shots, completely baffling the American. Despite trying to play with margin and engage in long rallies, he was quickly overwhelmed by the precision and tactical intelligence of his opponent.
There was a hint of a shift in momentum midway through the third set when the American woke up from his slumber and became more aggressive. This allowed him to break and take a promising 5-3 lead, but then both the intangibles of Jannik Sinner and the lack of composure in these contexts by Taylor Fritz emerged. Infantile errors, doubts, and four consecutive games for the Italian, who now adds his second Grand Slam title in this US Open 2024.
