MELBOURNE, Australia — Jannik Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the Australian Open final at Melbourne Park Sunday. The No. 1 seed prevailed over the No. 2 seed in a match ultimately decided by Zverev’s discomfort when coming forward, Sinner’s underrated first serve, and a kiss of death from the net.

Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in the final of the first Grand Slam of the year, which is also the least lucrative.

Jannik Sinner continues to be unstoppable and his opponents have not yet found a solution to stem his dominance. The world No.1 clinched his third Grand Slam title in a row on hard court, lifting the trophy at the 2025 Australian Open thanks to a stunning run that confirmed his status as the undisputed leader of the men's tour.
