Sinner dedicates his title to his aunt, who is very ill: "I don't know how much longer I'll have her in my life".

Jannik Sinner is the US Open 2024 champion.

At the end of a tournament that he dominated head and shoulders, the Italian mastered Taylor Fritz perfectly in the final (6-3, 6-4, 7-5) to claim his second Grand Slam title of the season and of his career too.

Interviewed on court after his success, the world number 1 had a touching word for his aunt, who was very ill: "I also know that off the court, there's life.

I'd like to dedicate this title to my aunt, because she's really not feeling well. I don't know how much longer I'll have her in my life.

It's so nice to still be able to share positive moments with her. She's been a very important person in my life, and still is.

If there was one wish I could make, I'd wish for everyone to be healthy, but unfortunately that's not possible."
