2024 tennis event results
Jannik Sinner defeated Taylor Fritz in the final, 6–3, 6–4, 7–5 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2024 US Open.[ 1] It was his second major title. Sinner became the first Italian man to win the US Open singles title and the first Italian man in the Open Era to win multiple major titles. Sinner was also the fourth (and youngest) man to win both hardcourt majors (Australian Open and US Open ) in the same year, after Mats Wilander , Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic , and the first man to win his first two major singles titles in the same year since Guillermo Vilas in 1977.
Djokovic was the defending champion and was vying for a record-breaking 25th major title, but lost in the third round to Alexei Popyrin .[ 2] This marked Djokovic's earliest defeat at the US Open since 2006 , his earliest defeat at any major since the 2017 Australian Open , and the first year since 2017 that Djokovic did not win a major title.[ 3] It was also the first year since 2002 that none of the Big Three won a major and the first major since the 2004 French Open without any of the Big Three in the round of 16.[ 4]
The semifinal between Fritz and Frances Tiafoe marked the first all-American major men's semifinal since Andre Agassi defeated Robby Ginepri at the 2005 US Open , with Fritz becoming the first American man to reach a major final since Andy Roddick at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships , and the first to do so at the US Open since Roddick in 2006.[ 5]
This tournament marked the final major appearance of 2020 US Open champion and former world No. 3 Dominic Thiem . He lost in the first round to Ben Shelton .[ 6]
The first-round match between Dan Evans and Karen Khachanov was the longest match in the tournament's history at 5 hours and 35 minutes, surpassing the previous record of 5 hours and 26 minutes from the 1992 semifinal between Stefan Edberg and Michael Chang .[ 7] [ 8]
