Jannik Sinner will hope to block out a rocking home crowd on Sunday when he faces Taylor Fritz in the U.S. Open final at Flushing Meadows, where the 12th seed will be bidding to become the first American man in 21 years to win a Grand Slam singles title.

U.S. Open finalist Jannik Sinner is hopeful the wrist injury he sustained in a fall during Friday’s semi-final win over Jack Draper will not be a bother during the final.

Daniil Medvedev said he was enjoying his growing rivalry with world number one Jannik Sinner despite coming out on the wrong end of the scoreline in the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
