There will be a first time winner of the US Open men’s title on Sunday when Jannik Sinner takes on Taylor Fritz in the final.
Sinner took down ailing Briton Jack Draper 7-5, 7-6(3), 6-2 to reach his second major final after winning the Australian Open earlier this year.
And in the second semi-final Fritz beat Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to become the first American male to reach the final in New York since Andy Roddick in 2006.
The women’s final takes place on Sunday, September 8 at 7pm in the UK, 2pm EST in the US.
Sky Sports has the broadcasting rights to show the US Open live from Flushing Meadows.
Gigi Salmon is presenting the coverage alongside the likes of Tim Henman, Laura Robson, Martina Navratilova, Marion Bartoli, Karthi Gnanasegaram, Feliciano Lopez, Naomi Cavaday and Jonathan Overend.
ESPN has the broadcasting rights to show the tournament but the men’s final will be shown on ABC.
Last year, Novak Djokovic equalled Margaret Court’s record of 24 major titles with a brilliant performance over Daniil Medvedev. But the defending champion’s quest for a 25th grand slam singles title was ended on Saturday night by Australia’s Alexei Popyrin.
The US Open total prize pool is $75 million (£58.3 million), up 15 per cent on 2023.
