Jannik Sinner Triumphs at Australian Open, Defends Title Against Alexander Zverev
Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Australian Open title with a dominant 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 victory over Alexander Zverev in the men’s singles final on Sunday. The world No. 1 showcased his relentless baseline play and impeccable serving, not facing a single break point throughout the match. This win marks Sinner’s third Grand Slam title, making him the first Italian to achieve this feat.
Zverev, who was seeking his first major title, struggled to find rhythm against Sinner’s consistent aggression and precision. Despite moments of brilliance, including a tight second set that went to a tiebreak, Zverev was unable to capitalize on key opportunities. A fortunate net cord in the tiebreak swung momentum decisively in Sinner’s favor, and the Italian closed out the match with ease in the third set.
Sinner’s victory extends his remarkable streak to 21 consecutive wins at hard-court Grand Slams, having also claimed the US Open in 2024. His performance solidified his status as the best player in the world, with Zverev acknowledging, “You are the best player in the world by far. I was hoping to be more competitive today, but you are too good.”
For Zverev, this defeat marks his third loss in a Grand Slam final, joining an unfortunate list of players who have lost their first three major finals. Despite his disappointment, Zverev expressed gratitude to his team and vowed to keep striving for his first Slam title.
Sinner, meanwhile, praised his opponent and thanked his team, including coach Darren Cahill, who is set to retire at the end of the season. The Italian’s calm demeanor and clinical performance underscored his growing dominance in men’s tennis, with many predicting more Grand Slam titles in his future.
