When is US Open men's final? How to watch Taylor Fritz vs Jannik Sinner
View Date:2024-12-24 07:26:21
For the first time in nearly two decades, an American man has made it to the U.S. Open final.
American Taylor Fritz will face off against Italian Jannik Sinner in the U.S. Open men's final on Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. Fritz is in pursuit of his first career major title and is looking to become the first American man to win a major title since Andy Roddick in 2003.
An American man hasn't made it to the U.S. Open final since Roddick did so in 2006.
Sinner is vying for his second major of the year. Sinner won the Australian Open in January, another hard court surface, after being down two-sets-to-love to Daniil Medvedev. Only three men have pulled off the hard court double and won the Australian Open and U.S. Open in the same year since 1988 (Mats Wilander, 1988; Roger Federer, 2004, 2006, 2007; and Novak Djokovic, 2011, 2015, 2023).

Jannik Sinner's doping controversy
Sinner, the World No. 1 tennis player, parted ways with his fitness coach Umberto Ferrara and his physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi ahead of the tournament following a doping saga.
One day after winning the Cincinnati Open, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITA) announced that Sinner twice tested positive for Clostebol, an anabolic steroid banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, in a test at the BNP Paribas Open on March 10 and an out-of-competition test conducted March 18. Sinner claimed that a support team member regularly applied an over-the-counter spray containing Clostebol to treat their own wound before giving Sinner daily massages and sports therapy, "resulting in unknowing transdermal contamination. "
Following an investigation, the ITA accepted Sinner's explanation and determined that the "violation was not intentional."
