It bookends a brilliant 2024 for Sinner who started the year with victory at the Australian Open, his first grand slam title, before claiming the No 1 spot for the first time.

Today’s men’s final lasted two hours and 15 minutes, only 22 minutes longer than yesterday’s women’s final.

Sinner takes home $NZ5.83m for winning the US Open with Fritz awarded a runner-up prize of NZ$2.9m.
