Jannik Sinner beats Alexander Zverev to clinch second consecutive Australian Open title

LA Times  

Italian Jannik Sinner carries the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup after defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the men’s singles final at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, Sunday. There’s all sorts of ways beyond merely the score to measure just how dominant Jannik Sinner was while outplaying and frustrating Alexander Zverev during the 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 victory Sunday that earned the 23-year-old Italian a second consecutive Australian Open championship. “It’s amazing,” Sinner said, “to achieve these things.” The “things” include being the youngest man to leave Melbourne Park with the trophy two years in a row since Jim Courier in 1992-93, and the first man since Nadal at the French Open in 2005 and 2006 to follow up his first Grand Slam title by repeating as the champion at the same tournament a year later. “I know if I would be guilty, I would not play like this.” While he became the eighth man in the Open era to start his career 3-0 in Grand Slam finals, Zverev is the seventh to be 0-3, adding this loss to those at the 2020 U.S. Open and last year’s French Open.
