Sinner made quick work of Fritz at Flushing Meadows, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. He won eight straight sets to finish the U.S. Open. He defeated Jack Draper in straight sets in the semifinals and won the final two sets against Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals.

He received support from Andre Agassi during the tournament, believing that it was an honest mistake.
