Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner have started play in the U.S. Open final, where a 21-year drought for American men could end. A victory for Fritz on Sunday would be the first Grand Slam singles title for an American man since Andy Roddick in 2003. Sinner is trying for his second major championship of the season. The match began shortly after 2 p.m. EDT, two hours earlier than its usual start, under sunny skies at Arthur Ashe Stadium on a 70-degree day. Roddick’s victory at the 2003 U.S. Open is the last Slam title for an American man.
