Jannik Sinner's Masterclass Over Zverev Secures Australian Open Hat-Trick
Italy’s Jannik Sinner continued to dominate the tennis world by claiming his third Grand Slam title and retaining his Australian Open crown. In a commanding display, Sinner dismantled Alexander Zverev, securing a straight-sets victory (6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3) in the final at Rod Laver Arena. The 23-year-old Italian’s clinical performance reinforced his position as the world’s best player and cemented his legacy in Italian tennis history.
Sinner’s game was a symphony of precision and power, leaving Zverev unable to find answers. The German, fresh off a convincing semifinal victory over Novak Djokovic, came into the final with high hopes but found himself outplayed at every turn. Sinner’s serve was impenetrable, his groundstrokes lethal, and his composure unshakable. He didn’t allow Zverev a single break-point opportunity throughout the match, and his sharp drop shots and relentless baseline rallies left the world No. 2 scrambling for solutions.

The second set showcased a glimpse of tension, with a dramatic tie-break at 4-4 where a fortunate net cord turned the momentum further in Sinner’s favor. Zverev’s frustration became evident as he smashed his racket in despair. Despite his efforts, the German could not match the Italian’s consistency and sharpness. Sinner sealed the victory with a brilliant backhand passing shot, raising his arms in triumph as the crowd erupted in celebration.
Post-match, Zverev acknowledged Sinner’s superiority, admitting, “He does everything better than me right now. He’s in a different universe.” This match was not just about skill but also about Sinner’s mental fortitude. Despite looming challenges, including a World Anti-Doping Agency appeal scheduled for April, he played with laser focus and poise.
At just 23, Sinner’s dominance on hard courts is unparalleled, and his 21-match winning streak speaks volumes about his consistency. As he celebrated with his team and the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup, it was clear that Jannik Sinner is not just a rising star but a defining force in the tennis world.
