“This title means a lot to me, the last period has been very difficult and for this I want to thank my team that supported me every day”. These are the first words of Jannik Sinner, in his speech during the awards ceremony of the US Open, after defeating Taylor Fritz in three sets in the final. “I love tennis, I train a lot to get to play on these stages, but I have learned that there is more beyond the court. I dedicate this title to my aunt who is not well, I don’t know how much longer she will be alive – continued an emotional Sinner – It’s wonderful to be able to share this moment with her, she was an important person in my life. I wish everyone to always be in good health”. The world number one then concluded by talking about the way he approached this Slam in a difficult moment of his career: «We tried to take it one day and one match at a time, I understood how important the mental part of the preparation was. Thanks to my team, but also all the people who have been close to me in these weeks», concluded the new champion of the United States Open.
“It’s been a really great two weeks, congratulations to Jannik and his team, he played a great final, he was too good.” So Taylor Fritz during the US Open awards ceremony.
“Thank you Jannik!!!! Champion of the United States Open!!! You are a source of pride for all of Italy!!!!”. This was written on X by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani. «It’s written Sinner, it’s read history.

Thus the president of the Coni, Giovanni Malagò.
