In a remarkable turn of events, Jannik Sinner staged an extraordinary comeback in Melbourne to claim his inaugural Grand Slam title. The 22-year-old, seeded fourth, battled back from a two-set deficit against Daniil Medvedev, ultimately securing a 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 triumph at the Australian Open. Sinner’s victory not only marked a historic moment for him but also made him the first Italian man to win a Slam since Adriano Panatta in 1976, etching his name in the annals of tennis history.
Sinner’s resilience was on full display as he orchestrated a stunning turnaround, clinching a hard-fought victory in a marathon three-hour, 44-minute match. His triumph against Medvedev extended his impressive streak, boasting four consecutive tour-level wins against the Russian player. Notably, he halted Novak Djokovic’s 33-match winning streak at the Australian Open in the semi-final and continued his dominance by winning 20 of his past 21 tour-level matches.

Speaking about his achievement, an elated Sinner expressed, “I am very proud. It was a very tough match. There are so many emotions right now. I have to sit down and process it, but an unbelievable feeling.” The World No. 4’s joy was evident as he collapsed to the floor following match point, a moment of pure elation captured by the watching crowd.
Sinner’s journey to the title also showcased his prowess against top-tier opponents, as he secured ten out of his past eleven matches against Top 5 players, including the victory over Medvedev. With this win, he became the youngest man to claim the Australian Open title since Novak Djokovic in 2008, and only the second man born in the 2000s to secure a Grand Slam title, following in the footsteps of Carlos Alcaraz.
For Daniil Medvedev, it was a bitter pill to swallow, missing the opportunity to secure multiple major singles titles and climb in the ATP Rankings. The match added another layer of drama as Sinner joined the elite club of players in the Open Era who rallied from two sets down in the Australian Open final and emerged victorious, a feat previously achieved by Rafael Nadal in 2022.
As the Italian looked increasingly dominant in the later sets, his consistent and powerful hitting overwhelmed Medvedev. Sinner’s backhand down the line became a weapon, leading him to thunder 14 aces, hit 50 winners, and break Medvedev’s serve four times, ultimately securing his place as the first Italian champion in the tournament’s storied history.
Reflecting on his journey, Sinner expressed gratitude to his team and parents, emphasizing the importance of freedom in choosing one’s path in sports. This triumph adds another layer to Sinner’s recent success, including his ATP Masters 1000 title in Toronto and reaching the title match at the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals. The 27th man in the Open Era to lift the Australian Open trophy, Jannik Sinner has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the tennis world.
