Read our privacy policy Jannik Sinner cemented his status as the hard-court king of men’s tennis with his second-consecutive Australian Open title. The world number one defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3 7-6 6-3 on Rod Laver Arena, making him the first Italian man or woman to hold three grand slam singles titles. As well as a 21st-consecutive hard-court win at slams, it also extended his current career-best winning run at all levels to 21 matches dating back to a final loss in Beijing in early October, while he has won 47 of his first 50 matches as world number one, equalling the ATP record. After his final backhand flew past Zverev, Sinner – who continues to put the uncertainty over his ongoing doping case to the back of his mind – thrust his arms into the air in triumph.
