Championship Point | Jannik Sinner Wins Second Grand Slam Title | 2024 US Open

He was the best player coming into the tournament. He had the momentum from Cincinnati, then got knocked off of his axis when the news broke, a doping test. His team, in tears, centered the champion. He's in tears as well. Came to the tournament with a dark cloud over his head, and now it's nothing but blue sky. Straight sets. He's honored by the authorities for something that he really, in many ways, was victimized by. And he has played so well to put that behind him. Only they really know what this year has been like for them. But his level of tennis today, with the exception of a 15 minute stretch, was unimpeachable. Amazing defense, incredible offense, no holes in his game. Resilient when the crowd got involved. And now he holds two major titles in 2024. That's something else. He won't be wiping that smile off his dial any time soon. They've been in the trenches with him through good times, tough times of late. But today, the center is a Grinner. Marina Sapolega won the Australian Open, a hardcourt event. The same has happened for Yannick Sitter. Sapolega, the best hardcourt player in women's tennis. Is this Italian guy the best hardcourt player in men's tennis? The seal of approval? He gets the seal of approval. That's exactly right. He's the best fast court of this season. Slow, he won Miami as well. So I think unequivocally, he is this year. Will he be the player of the year? Most likely, with this win, it'll be for the first time. Polls, as they etch his name into the trophy. He's etching himself into the history books in this sport pretty rapidly now. Have the trophy ceremony.
