Jannik Sinner celebrating his victory at the Australian Open
Jannik Sinner of Italy has won the Australian Open, defeating Daniil Medvedev of Russia in a thrilling five-set final on Sunday. The 22-year-old Sinner came back from two sets down to win 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, claiming his first Grand Slam title in style.
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with both players displaying moments of brilliance and frustration. Medvedev started strong, taking the first two sets with his powerful serve and aggressive baseline play. However, Sinner refused to give up, and he slowly began to find his rhythm in the third set. He started to hit his forehand with more power and accuracy, and he was able to break Medvedev’s serve twice to take the set 6-4.
The momentum shifted in Sinner’s favor in the fourth set, and he was able to break Medvedev’s serve early on. He held on to his serve throughout the set, and he forced a decider with another 6-4 win.
The fifth set was a tight affair, but Sinner eventually pulled away to win 6-3. He served for the championship at 5-3, and he converted his first match point to seal the victory.

He is now the third Italian man to win a Grand Slam title, after Nicola Pietrangeli (1959-60 French Open) and Adriano Panatta (1976 French Open).
