Top-ranked 23-year-old Yannick Sinner of Italy won the final of the Australian Open 2024 in spectacular style. He defeated Germany's Alexander Zverev in three straight sets and did not give him any chance in the match. Sinner defeated Zverev 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in a match that lasted two hours and 42 minutes. This is his second Australian Open title. Before this he has also won the US Open. Sinner has become the first Italian player to win three Grand Slam titles in tennis singles.
Zverev made more mistakes
Yannick Sinner is at the first position in the tennis rankings. Alexander Zverev is at second place. There is only one place difference in the ranking of both the players but apart from the second set of the final match, Zverev was never seen giving competition to Sinner. Sinner's dominance in this match can also be gauged from the fact that he hit 32 winners compared to Zverev's 25 winners. The German player made 45 unforced errors while Sinner limited this figure to 27.
After the match, Zverev also accepted Sinner's irony
After the match Alexander Zverev said that at the moment you (Sinner) are the best player in the world by a huge margin. I expected that I would give you a tough competition but you played amazingly well. This is Sinner's 21st consecutive win. He has become champion for the third time in the last five Grand Slams. His win-loss record since last year is 80-6 and during this period he has won a total of nine tournaments.
Did a feat like Rafael Nadal in tennis
It has happened very rarely in men's singles that a player has successfully defended his first career Grand Slam title. Before Yannick Sinner, Spain's Rafael Nadal had achieved such a feat by winning the French Open title in 2005 and 2006. During this time, Sinner has faced the biggest problem due to the confirmation of small amount of anabolic steroids in his sample twice in March last year. However, this thing was made public at the time of the start of the US Open. He then won the US Open title. However, on the appeal of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the case is to be heard in April.
