How Jannik Sinner caused Alexander Zverev to run out of ammunition in the Australian Open final

Hindustan Times  

During the semifinal match against Novak Djokovic, one of the commentators highlighted the two sides of Alexander Zverev's forehand. Italy's Jannik Sinner poses with the trophy alongside Germany's Alexander Zverev after the final In the solitary set against Djokovic on Friday, Zverev did not look at ease with his forehand, recording 21 errors, despite escaping with a 7-6 win against the injured Serb, who then retired from the match, sending him into his third Slam final. Amid the nerves of playing his first final in Melbourne, and having suffered a defeat in his previous two attempts at having his hands on a major, Zverev's forehand faltered thrice in the opening game. While the conversation in the lead-up to the final was about the importance of Zverev's serve, Jannik Sinner was immaculate in that department, winning 85 per cent of points behind his first delivery. It was here where another moment of opportunity was created for Zverev until an unfortunate net cord saw Sinner make it 4-4 and there was no looking back for the three-time Slam winner.
