The analysis is by the former ATP world number 3 Ivan Ljubicic, who described Jannik Sinner's path towards defending the title at the Australian Open 2025, starting from the difference between the ATP No.1 and the rest of the Tour.

The Italian seems almost not to have, in addition to the best Carlos Alcaraz - looking at the 3-0 in favor of the Spaniard in the head-to-head of 2024 - in the ATP Tour and there are many statistics to certify it: on the hard-court, the 23-year-old has reached 21 consecutive victories in the Slams, as well as the current 33-1 record from Cincinnati (tournament from which the Clostebol affair was also made public).

"The difference between him and the others is increasingly clear. I believe that this tournament above all will give him a lot of strength also from a mental point of view, because he had many physical difficulties and still managed to come out of them with experience," said Roger Federer's former coach, in an interview for Sky Sport regarding the Melbourne final won by Jannik against Alexander Zverev.

"In the final he seemed at 110% and this is a very important fact to understand that during a Major there are difficulties and it is necessary to find a way to deal with them, because afterwards everything could be easier. It often happens that a final is 'easier' than a third or fourth round," underlined Ljubicic, referring to the efforts of the Italian in the match against Holger Rune, in which he had more than one problem on a physical level but was able to win the match anyway.

"He is very calm and continues to bring in positive experiences. This title is a proof of his superiority over all the others, because there really was no match. Zverev was in great difficulty, especially with the forehand. Jannik was lucky in that point where the ball hit the net and ended up in Sascha's half of the court, but a champion is also accompanied by good luck," added the Croatian.
