Jannik Sinner cemented his status as a tennis powerhouse, successfully defending his Australian Open title with a convincing 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 victory over Alexander Zverev in the final on Sunday. The Italian’s dominance was on full display at Rod Laver Arena, as he dropped just two sets throughout the tournament.
Sinner’s impressive performance marked a triumphant return to Melbourne, where he picked up right where he left off last year. The 23-year-old’s remarkable win-streak now stands at 21 matches, solidifying his position among the world’s top players.
By defending his Australian Open title, Sinner joins an elite group of players who have achieved this feat in the 21st century, including tennis legends Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. This milestone victory also brings Sinner’s career title count to 19, further underscoring his rapid rise to tennis stardom.
Last year’s impressive campaign, which saw Sinner win eight ATP trophies and compile a 73-6 record, has clearly carried over into the new season. As the tennis world looks on, Sinner’s continued success is likely to make him a force to be reckoned with in upcoming Grand Slam tournaments.
With his Australian Open title defense, Sinner has sent a clear message to his competitors: he is a champion who will not relinquish his crown without a fight.
