ATP legend reveals how Jannik Sinner made the difference

Fans and insiders expected the 2025 Australian Open final to be much more balanced, but instead it turned into a domination of Jannik Sinner. The world number 1 won his second title in a row at Melbourne Park and gave yet another show of strength on this surface, where his opponents do not seem to have the weapons to be able to put him in difficulty.

The Italian player lost only two sets in the entire tournament and totally changed gears starting from the quarterfinals, showing that he had overcome the malaise that had debilitated him against Rune in the round of 16 and that had led to fears of his retirement.

Sinner dominated

In the final, the 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria did not give the slightest chance to Alexander Zverev who seemed helpless and did not even have a break point. The German champion had arrived at this match with great confidence, but his certainties crumbled very soon and he himself admitted that Jannik was too strong for him today.

Sascha had to postpone his first Grand Slam title and lost his third final, becoming the sixth player in tennis history to reach this negative milestone. The world number 2 was consoled by the Italian champion at the end of the match, but he could not hold back the tears for another missed opportunity.

Speaking on Eurosport, American legend John McEnroe analyzed the AO men's final in detail: “Jannik is definitely by far the best player on hard courts. I am not sure you would throw him that quite yet on grass or clay. He is a little bit of a work in progress, he is still young.

He did get into Zverev’s head, I’m not denying that, but I thought he was going to make this a war of attrition and try to test Sinner.

He is an awesome player. There’s no question about it. The way he gets in and out of the corners is unbelievable. He puts tons of pressure on opponents, that’s clear. And he did get in Zverev’s head, I’m not denying that.”
