NEW YORK – Jannik Sinner on Sunday added the US Open to his Australian Open triumph in January.
He swept Taylor Fritz off court in a brutally one-sided final, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5, becoming the first man since Guillermo Vilas in 1977 to win his first two Grand Slam titles in the same season.
That is a feat that eluded Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal as well as Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.
None of the three legends managed to win four majors before their 22nd birthday.
Two years Sinner’s junior, Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open and defended his Wimbledon title in 2024 and already has four Grand Slam titles to his name.
