Italian World No. 1 Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Australian Open men’s singles title, defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in straight sets.
In a commanding performance at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, 23-year-old Jannik Sinner secured his second consecutive Australian Open title by overcoming Alexander Zverev with set scores of 6-3, 7-6, and 6-3. This victory marks Sinner’s third Grand Slam title, solidifying his position at the pinnacle of men’s tennis.
Sinner’s path to the final showcased his exceptional form, as he advanced through the tournament without dropping a set. His clinical performance in the final highlighted his dominance on the court, with Zverev struggling to find answers to Sinner’s precise play. Notably, Sinner became the first player since 2006 to defend his maiden Grand Slam title, underscoring his rapid ascent in the tennis world.
