Fritz made his first appearance in a Grand Slam final and had his work cut out against his Italian opponent, who won his first Slam of his career in Australia back in January.
The first set was won by Sinner, claiming it 6-3 with the Italian winning the second set 6-4 before winning the third 7-5 to claim his second Grand Slam title.
Fritz was backed by some to achieve glory on home turf by some though, including from rapper Drake, who placed a $210,000 (approximately £160,000) on the 26-year-old to win.
