Taylor Fritz is aiming to join a select group of American players who have won a Grand Slam title in the 21st century. The exclusive list includes Andre Agassi (2001, 2003 Australian Open), Pete Sampras (2002 US Open), and Andy Roddick (2003 US Open). Standing in Fritz’s way in the final of the 2024 US Open is the current world No. 1 player, Jannik Sinner.
While Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic often grab the headlines, Sinner has had an impressive season so far. With five wins under his belt, including the Australian Open and the Cincinnati Open, he entered the US Open as a strong contender. In the semifinals, Sinner defeated Jack Draper in straight sets to secure his spot in the final, while Fritz overcame fellow American Frances Tiafoe on his path to the championship match. A win for Sinner would make him the first Italian man to claim two Grand Slam titles in a single year.
The US Open men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 8, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, NY. The match will commence at 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted live on ESPN. Additionally, viewers can stream the final on ESPN+ and Fubo.
