At the just ended US Open 2024, Jannik Sinner reigned supreme as the first Italian player to win the men's singles championship. In a one-sided contest, Sinner outperformed Taylor Fritz, displaying remarkable form. Fritz was overrun by the world No. 1 and the outcome of the match was exactly what was expected.
 

After meeting Sinner, Andy Roddick, who was in attendance during the later stages of the Grand Slam event in New York, was impressed. "I said hello to him because you walk in the men's locker room and my locker is way to the right, but he takes up kind of that centre area right before you gotta make a move left or right," he remarked in an interview with the Served with Andy Roddick podcast. It would have seemed like I was being a (expletive) if I hadn't said hello to them all while Darren (Cahill) and Andre (Agassi) were around."

"In my whole life, I had never met Jannik Sinner. Since I don't attend every event, I don't know many of the players. My greatest worry is getting in someone's way when they're getting ready for a match or anything, so I said hello quickly and moved aside." Roddick stated of Sinner, "But he is the most relaxed person I've ever seen beside of Roger Federer before a Slam final." There seems to be a calm confidence in the way he approaches things. Even his joys are personal to him; they are more of a sense of relief than anything else, as if he had been prepared to resume his career an hour after the US Open, which is a global issue." Sinner's victory at the US Open also silenced his detractors, who had been targeting him from the beginning of the competition because of a drug scandal. He escaped a penalty despite testing positive for anabolic agents twice in March, it was found. His defence that inadvertent contamination altered the test findings was approved by an impartial panel.
