Australian Open: Jannik Sinner defeats Daniil Medvedev in Men’s Singles final to win his 1st grand slam title

Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in a hard-fought game 3-6, 3-6, 6-4,6-4,6-3 in the men’s singles final of the Australian Open in Melbourne on Sunday.

The 22-year-old fourth seed rallied from two sets down to register a convincing win against Medvedev and lift his maiden major trophy at the Australian Open.

With his win, Sinner became the first Italian man to win a Slam since Adriano Panatta in 1976. The World No. 4, who lost just one set en route to the final, ended Novak Djokovic’s 33-match winning streak at the Australian Open in the semi-final.

Sinner is just the second player to rally from two sets down in the Australian Open final and lift the trophy. The other was Rafael Nadal, who defeated Medvedev from a two-sets-to-love deficit in 2022.
