Jannik Sinner dedicated his US Open title to his aunt, who is in poor health, with emotional words. “She’s not really well at the moment. I don’t know how much longer I’ll have her in my life,” said the 23-year-old tennis pro from Italy in his victory speech at the Grand Slam tournament in New York. “It’s nice that I can still share positive moments with her. She is a very important person in my life.”
Sinner won the final of the US Open 6:3, 6:4, 7:5 against the American Taylor Fritz. For the world number one, it was the second triumph at a Grand Slam tournament after winning the Australian Open in January.
