Sinner extended his winning streak to 11 matches after beating home favourite Taylor Fritz in the US Open final, 6-3 6-4 7-5.

As a result, Sinner has gone unbeaten at hard court Grand Slams in 2024 after also winning his first major title at the Australian Open back in January.

However, it has not all been plain-sailing for the World No.1, after it was revealed just three weeks ago that he had failed two anti-doping tests after Indian Wells in March.
