Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner delivered a masterclass at the Rod Laver Arena, defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev with a commanding scoreline of 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 to claim the Australian Open 2025 title. This victory marks Sinner’s third Grand Slam title, further solidifying his position among the sport's elite and inching him closer to the milestone of four majors achieved by Carlos Alcaraz.

A Battle of Consistency and Precision

The 23-year-old Italian set the tone early with his aggressive baseline play and unrelenting consistency. Sinner capitalized on Zverev’s 45 unforced errors, maintaining control during crucial moments of the match. The second set proved to be the most competitive, with Zverev pushing Sinner to a tie-break, but the Italian held his nerve to take the set. In the third set, Sinner regained full control, closing out the match in 2 hours and 41 minutes.

Historic Milestones for Sinner

This triumph makes Jannik Sinner the first Italian player to win three Grand Slam titles. He also joins an elite group of players, including Roger Federer, Björn Borg, and Carlos Alcaraz, who have won their first three Grand Slam finals.

For Alexander Zverev, the loss represents his third defeat in a Grand Slam final, mirroring early struggles faced by legends like Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl. Despite an impressive semifinal victory over Novak Djokovic, Zverev's inconsistency once again proved costly on the big stage.
