Laura Scott
BBC sports news correspondent in New YorkSome more frustrated cries of “Taylor” from the crowd as he sees three break points come and go in the first game of the third set.
Having not seen a break point in the whole of the second set, he’ll be as annoyed as anyone not to have been able to capitalise on that opportunity.

This would be the monumental comeback of all comebacks if Fritz pulls this off. For all the plaudits for Fritz saying he played well second set, it's been too easy for Sinner. Very disappointed as wanted a decent final. Occasion seems to have got to Fritz.

David Law
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsThis is a long, long way back for America's Taylor Fritz who throws his hands up in the air towards his team as if to say "what can I possibly do about this?"
Jannik Sinner is firing.

A big player for the big moment.
Jannik Sinner with a stunning backhand down the line.
Is there any way back from here for Taylor Fritz?

Taylor Fritz has been so consistent on serve in this second set but it's falling apart here.
15-40.

What a way to respond.
A 128mph serve backed up by a cross-court forehand winner.
15-30.

Not an ideal start from Taylor Fritz as he goes long with a forehand before finding the net.
0-30.

Huge pressure now on the Taylor Fritz serve.

Sinner 6-3 4-4 Fritz*
Annabel Croft
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsThe biggest difference between the two players is the movement.
Even if Taylor Fritz can hurt Jannik Sinner with the groundstrokes, Sinner can defend those much better than Fritz can.
