Jannik Sinner shows Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe how heavy a U.S. Open title is to lift

New York Times  

NEW YORK — For 20 minutes, the chances that an American man might actually win the U.S. Open for the first time in 21 years looked very good, or at least better than they had in a while. 1 in the world tomorrow, so I don’t know if I’m thinking, like, ‘opportunity’ too much,” he said Saturday, after his third-round win against Canadian qualifier Gabriel Diallo. Paul had spent the early part of the match avoiding what he calls “bang bang tennis” — the baseline exchanges in which Sinner cracks the ball harder than anybody. If Fritz or Tiafoe want to win the U.S. Open, they are likely to have to figure out Sinner themselves. “Everyone is good, so it doesn’t really matter who’s in or who’s not.” Tiafoe will take on Grigor Dimitrov on Tuesday night on Ashe.
