NEW YORK — Jannik Sinner beat Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 with a relentless baseline game to win the US Open men's singles championship Sunday, less than three weeks after being exonerated in a doping case.

The No. 1-ranked Sinner, a 23-year-old from Italy, won the second Grand Slam trophy of his nascent career — the other was at the Australian Open in January — and prevented No.

12 Fritz from ending a major title drought for American men that has lasted 21 years. Sinner is the fourth different man to win both the Australian Open and US Open in the same year since 1988, when the Australian major transitioned from grass to hard court.

With Aryna Sabalenka having swept both the Australian Open and US Open, too, it's the first time that the same man and the same woman won both hard-court majors in the same year since 1988 (Mats Wilander and Steffi Graf did so that year).
