He showcased his exceptional skill and determination in a 6-3 6-4 7-5 win against American Taylor Fritz in the men's singles final, claiming the prestigious trophy at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 23-year-old rising star has dominated the tennis world over the past 18 months, currently holding the top rank. His remarkable performance includes securing six titles in the 2024 season, propelling him 4,105 points ahead of his closest rival, Alexander Zverev, in the race for the ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours.

Another fan labelled the men's final as dull, only showing signs of life when Fritz almost took the third set. They congratulated Sinner but expressed eagerness for the Australian Open. One fan concluded that Sinner was better in every aspect than Fritz, including being dull.

Including being dull.
That was a fairly dull men's final, only briefly coming to life when it looked like Fritz might take the third set. Congrats to Sinner, I guess. Hurry up, Australian Open.

The match marked a moment of redemption for Sinner, who had been embroiled in a recent doping scandal at the beginning of the tournament. It was disclosed that he had tested positive for an anabolic agent twice in March, but managed to avoid a ban. Additionally, an independent tribunal upheld his claim that the results were influenced by unintentional contamination.
Sinner concluded the year with an impressive 55-5 win-loss record, having earlier clinched the Australian Open title in 2024.
