Sinner logically takes the lead against Fritz at the US Open

For the moment, there are no surprises on Arthur-Ashe Stadium.

The clear favorite for the match and the tournament, Jannik Sinner generally mastered a Taylor Fritz who wasn't quite up to the task (6-3 in 42 minutes).

Impactful in the exchanges and dominant in all areas of the game, the world number 1 took full advantage of his opponent's nervousness to go a third of the way to the title.

Fritz, on the other hand, will have to raise his game considerably if he is to turn the match around and wake up the crowd.
