Jannik Sinner’s remarkable victory at the Australian Open has garnered widespread praise from tennis stars worldwide, including Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal.
Carlos Alcaraz congratulated the young Italian on his triumph, taking to X to share a heartfelt message: “Many congrats @janniksin! Bravo!!!”
Novak Djokovic, while supporting Alexander Zverev, also extended his congratulations to Sinner. In an Instagram story, Djokovic encouraged Zverev to believe in his abilities, and also praised Sinner’s performance.
Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion, joined the celebration by sharing an Instagram story to congratulate Sinner, further reinforcing the camaraderie within the tennis community.
Sinner’s victory, which marks a significant milestone in his career, highlights the immense respect and admiration he has earned on the global tennis stage.
The Italian tennis star secured back-to-back Australian Open titles on Sunday, defeating Alexander Zverev in a hard-fought title clash. The final score was 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3, and the match lasted two hours and 42 minutes. In a flawless performance, Sinner did not face a single break point throughout the match.
This win also made Sinner the first player from Italy to secure three Grand Slam titles, further cementing his place in tennis history.
While Zverev showed flashes of brilliance, including coming within two points of winning the second set, his wait for a Grand Slam title will continue. Zverev now holds a 0-3 record in Grand Slam finals and left the court visibly emotional, contemplating his near miss.
For Sinner, this victory follows his wins at the Australian Open and US Open last year, marking a stunning 21-match winning streak at hard-court Grand Slams. Sinner is the fifth player in the Open Era to win three consecutive Grand Slam titles, and the first since Novak Djokovic in 2015-16, according to ATP’s official website.
Sinner’s serving was near flawless during the final, winning 85 percent of points behind his first delivery. His impressive serve and defensive skills forced Zverev to lose rhythm, even as he struggled to execute his own brilliant serves under immense pressure.
