Currently ranked World No. 1, Sinner has won six titles this season, leading the ATP Tour.
His impressive 2024 season has seen him pull 4,105 points ahead of his closest competitor, Alexander Zverev, in the ATP Year-End No. 1 race.
The atmosphere at Arthur Ashe Stadium was electric as Fritz, the first American men's singles finalist since 2006, took the court.
However, Sinner's cool and controlled play, marked by precise serving and clean baseline shots, soon took over. He made just 21 unforced errors throughout the three-set match, ultimately overwhelming Fritz.
This year, Sinner became the first man in 47 years to win his first two Grand Slam titles in the same season.
With Carlos Alcaraz winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon, it is the first time since 1993 that all four major titles have been won by players of 23 or younger. (ANI)
