"Serving Aces" with Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdière discuss the winners of the US Open titles - Jannick Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka. The Sinner-Fritz match was straight forward because Fritz didn't use his legs or the whole court to force Sinner out of position. Sinner just kept coming - even in the third when it appeared Fritz was going to give the crowd more energy and win the set at 5-4, serving. Some errors and mishits gave the game to Sinner - and that was really the match. Sinner wins 7-5. Pegula-Sabalenka was two sets.
