A colossal Sinner makes history at the US Open

royalty Jannik Sinner. It’s huge. For a long time it was as if nothing had happened. A silent predator. Everything flows, it goes about its business with deceptive normality. And once it catches its prey, it doesn’t let go. Everything was executed with graceful movement, without fuss. Although at a very fast pace and speed.

Extraordinary Sinner. Not surprising. This season they got the aura of super champions. With the highest confidence. He was the favorite, he acted with the grace of someone who knew he was superior. Broke the hope of Taylor Fritzfrom a whole country.

He killed the Arthur Ashe Stadium. It wowed 23,000 viewers at multiple stages. He hypnotizes with the simplicity of his actions, although his message penetrates. Everyone, including the rival himself, understood very quickly that there was only one possible winner. That the world number one, with more than 11,000 points in his locker, occupies the throne in his own right.

Sinner, 23, made history by becoming the first Italian to win the US Open men’s singles. She emulated her compatriot Flavia Penneta, who surprised in 2015. The transalpine won her second Grand Slam after opening the record at the Australian Open in January. He defeated Fritz, 26 years old and number 12 (he will climb to seventh place) by 6-3, 6-4 and 7-5 in 2h.15′. He received the trophy from the hands of a legend, Andre Agassi.

The American dream has failed, there is no replacement yet Andy Roddickchampion in 2003. But his attitude and performance earned him a standing ovation when he judged the local bet. He gave a lot when he ordered. Most of the time. He also knows how to hold the court at the most critical moments. After holding the title, he suddenly found himself with a double fault that meant 3-4 and a serve from Fritz, who was ahead 3-5. Once Taylor exploded and took some fans crazy with miracle belief.

It didn’t take long. The sinner, despite his youth, has accumulated a lot of experience since lifting the ‘silver salad bowl’ in 2023. He has not stopped improving, growing as a player. From silence, without raising your voice. In his own way, the opposite of the cheerful Belarusian champion Aryna Sabalenka. Two different personalities, with a common denominator of a voracious appetite for success and natural talent developed through work.

What the Sinner did shows a lot of mental strength. There are twelve consecutive wins in between Cincinnati and New Yorkwhen word spread from city to city that he had tested positive for clostebol in March. It became public when it was announced that there would be no more punishment for the transalpine than the loss of points and money from the Indian Wells tournament. The independent panel that investigated his case decided to accept that he was infected by a massage from his physiotherapist, who treated a wound on the finger of one hand with a drug containing a prohibited substance. Traced on the body of the tennis player in a ridiculous amount of minimal.

There was commotion in the locker room, media activity. He, unchangeable. “I know I didn’t do anything wrong,” he proclaimed. Without shouting. You don’t need it. Not on track either. Authority is gained with facts.

Unstoppable, looser after the Olympic fiascos Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovicadded its sixteenth title, sixth this season after Australia, Rotterdam, Miami, Halle and Cincinnati. This season they won 55 out of 60 matches, 35 out of 37 on hard courts.

forks $3,600,000 plus millionaire. Sinister, wonderful, like Alcaraz at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The Grand Slams have been distributed. His classic will continue, directly and from a distance.
