Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner made history by becoming a two-time champion of the Australian Open by defeating Alexander Zverev in three sets of 6-3, 7-6, and 6-3. Sinner, 23 years old, showed dominance from the start of the match, with aggressive serves and precise play that allowed him to win the first set easily at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
"I felt more pressure," Sinner confessed with the trophy in his hands. He also dedicated heartfelt words to Zverev, who has lost all three Grand Slam finals he has played. He emphasized the strength of the German as both a player and a person, predicting a bright future for him in tennis. He also mentioned Carlos Alcaraz as a successor to legends like Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic.
Sinner became the first Italian tennis player to lift three Grand Slam titles in singles, a feat that reflects the great moment he is experiencing. On a memorable night, the player also broke a historic record of Roger Federer by winning 21 consecutive sets against top 10 ATP ranking players.
In the second set, Zverev tried to challenge Sinner, but the Italian came out victorious, taking a closely contested tiebreak. In the third set, the new jewel of Italian tennis solidified his game to secure his third Grand Slam title and his second consecutive one in Australia.
Sinner's attitude both on and off the court has been praised, demonstrating that he is not only great for his tennis but also for his personality in important moments.
