Jannik Sinner heard about the dream of an American man winning a grand slam for the first time since 2003 and he shut that shit right down. A straight sets victory for the Italian gets him his second slam title of the year and his career. Taylor Fritz had his moments to make it a match, but in the end the world no. 1 was never meant to lose. Just way too good at pretty much everything. It's no fault to Fritz either. Sinner is now 55-5 on the season. He's fucking incredible. 

For Taylor Fritz, getting here was a massive accomplishment. Even despite a straight sets defeat, Fritz showed how far his game has come. 

Should be very proud to get to this point. He's still plenty young and should have at least another chance soon enough. 

Again though, this was going to have to be a monumental effort to upset Sinner. Even Fritz at his best would have needed Sinner to be off his game for this to be real. 

He needed McConaughey as his coach if he wanted a real shot.

Putting Travis Kelce to shame with his outfit. What is this? 

Props to Kelce for 100% watching football during the match. Taylor wanted to go to this and he went along as the good boyfriend. Not exactly a hard sacrifice in the grand scheme of things, but you know he'd rather be home on his couch watching games. 

Back to the tennis, a dark cloud obviously surrounded Jannik Sinner entering the tournament. The special treatment he received with his positive steroid test led to two suspensions secretly overturned months ago. We only found out about all of this after an independent tribunal ruled in his favor right before the US Open began. He was met with a swarm of questions and criticism, but handled it all very well. His trip to New York ends with a championship trophy, a check for $3.6M, the number ranking in the world by a ton of points, and he's got the girl.

The tennis world belongs to Jannik Sinner right now. Carlos Alcaraz has more slams at the moment, but the more complete player at the moment is the Italian. The exciting part is that they're both going to be going at each other for years to come. Hopefully we get then in a slam final in 2025. Novak Djokovic will be lurking to crash the party, but his fitness and age are finally catching up to him. Still can't count him out. Thanks for following along with the blogs all year around even you click to tell me no one cares!
