"I'm happy that I can still share these moments with him. He is an important person in my life and will remain important," he said.
The US Open 2024 trophy is the second Grand Slam title in Sinner's career. He previously earlier earlier this year raised his first Grand Slam title when he won the Australian Open in January 2024.
This victory came just 19 days after Sinner was declared free from the problem of using the banned substance twice to build muscle mass in March 2024.
However, Sinner was later decided not to make mistakes or negligence on the positive test result by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). The agency stated that he was accidentally contaminated by his physiotherapist.
Sinner was the first since Guillermo Vilas from Argentina to win his first two Grand Slam titles in the same season in 1977.
He became the first Italian player to win a single title at Flushing Meadows.
