Sinner: "Just happy to be in the final".

This Sunday, Jannik Sinner will be aiming for his second Grand Slam title, following his victory in Australia earlier this year.

After a very solid tournament, the Italian is in for a very special experience.

For his first final in New York, he will face Taylor Fritz, American number 1 and the hope of an entire nation.

In fact, for the first time in 18 years, a local will be in the US Open final.

When asked about this upcoming duel, the world number 1 explained with great simplicity: "I'm just happy to be in the final.

It's going to be a tough challenge. I'm looking forward to it.

I've had a very positive season. The final days are very special.

Every Sunday you play in a tournament means you're doing a good job.

We'll try to keep pushing and see what I can do on Sunday. I'll be ready."
