    Jannik Sinner won his second grand slam title by beating home favourite Taylor Fritz in the US Open final in New York.

    The World No 1 produced a clinical display to win 6-3 6-4 7-5 and deny Fritz , who was aiming to end a 21-year wait for an American men’s US Open champion.

    Fritz had the support of a star-studded Arthur Ashe crowd, which included Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce , but Sinner was too good and showed why he is the best in the world.

    Fritz struggled with his serve in the opening set but improved in the second, only for Sinner to raise his game when it counted and take the decisive break at his first opportunity.

    Fritz looked to mount a comeback and served for the third set but Sinner broke his opponent and won the next four games in a row to win his first US Open title.

    Sinner won the Australian Open title at the start of the season, with the 23-year-old and his young rival Carlos Alcaraz splitting the year’s majors after the Spaniard won the French Open and Wimbledon.
