Jannik Sinner vs Taylor Fritz final; head-to-head
The men’s singles finalists – Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz – are both first-timers at this level of the tournament. Sinner is the first Italian to make it to the US Open final, while Fritz is the first American since Andy Roddick’s 2006 final appearance. Should Fritz win, he will break a 21 year-drought that USA had in the Open Era. Roddick had won the US Open in 2003. As the world No.1, Sinner’s Grand Slam record has not been the greatest – his only win so far has come at the 2024 Australian Open, while semi-final outings have been his best so far at the other Slams.
Sinner and Fritz have not played each other often and are currently at 1:1 in the head-to-head encounters. Both their previous matches were on hard court, with Fritz winning the first at the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells in 2021. Two years later, Sinner defeated him at the same tournament.
