The reigning champion of the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner, started it again. The sinner exceeded Alexander Zverev in Straight Set, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the 2025 Australian Open final, cement of his third Grand Chelem title in career.
The world n ° 1 checked almost the whole match against n ° 2 ZVEREV, repeating as champion of the Australian Open and winning its 19th title in total. Sinner won the Australian Open 2024 and US Open, and reached the semi-finals of the France 2024 Open 2024 and Wimbledon in 2023. Zverev is still looking for his first Grand Chelem title.
With the victory, the 23 -year -old sinner became the first Italian to win three majors. He is also the first man from Rafael Nadal in 2005-2006 to defend his first major title.
Zverev summed it up succinctly after the match, addressing the sinner: “You are simply too good.”
The sinner and Zverev met six times before, with Zverev winning four of these games. During their last meeting, the sinner passed Zverev in the semi-finals of the Cincinnati Open.
The sinner started hard during a first back and forth set, and Zverev was clearly frustrated towards the end when he was fighting with his forehand. Advantage Sinner, 6-3.
Zverev looked at and played more with confidence in the second set, where Sinner showed signs of tension, entering his left hamstrings, who also hampered him in his victory in the semi-finals on Ben Shelton. But the sinner never let Zverev run away, and the set went to an equality break, which the sinner won 7-4. Zverev, who apparently had problems with his rackets during the match, returned to the sidelines and broke one of frustration. Until then, the two players were 3-0 in connection break during the tournament.
From there, the sinner sailed. Zverev clearly pointed out, his body language defeated and the third set was the least competitive in the match. The sinner did not face a breakdown on Sunday and his service precision shone (84% on his first service).
Sinner now holds a sequence of 21 -game victories in Hardcourt Majors; His latest defeat occurred at the United States Open in 2023 against Zverev in the round of 16.
Zverev, 27, has 23 career titles but has never won a big home – the closest he came was the final of the French Open in 2024, where he lost against Carlos Alcaraz, and the US Open 2020, which Dominic Thiem won. Clearly emotional after the match, the sinner consoled Zverev before the presentation of the trophy, putting his hands on the shoulders of Zverev when he spoke to him.
When Zverev took the podium, he was first heckled by a woman in the crowd who shouted him about accusations of domestic violence that two of his former partners, Olya Sharapova and Brenda Patea, did against him.
“Australia believes that Olya and Brenda! Australia believes that Olya and Brenda! »»
Zverev did not approach the heckling. Instead, he looked towards the championship trophy: “It fears standing here next to this thing and not being able to touch him,” he said with a smile.
He approached the heckling at his post-match press conference.
“I believe there are no more charges. There was not for, what, nine months now. Good for her, I think she was the only one in the stadium to believe anything at that time, ” He said.
Zverev arrived at Melbourne's final after Djokovic at 7 seeds retired from their semi-final, and beat Tommy Paul 12-headed, Ugo Humbert, Jacob Fearnley, Pedro Martinez and Lucas Pouille.
On the way to the championship, the sinner dominated Shelton 21 heads, Alex de Minaur at 8 seeded, Holger Rune at 13 strikes, Marcos Giron, Tristan Schoolkate and Nicolas Jerry.
