Jannik Sinner won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open tonight, marking a significant shift in the tournament’s history.
He achieved a remarkable comeback victory over Russian Daniil Medvedev, rallying from two sets down to win 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. This victory is notable as Sinner (22) is the first player other than Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, or Roger Federer to win in Melbourne in a decade, and the first Italian man to win a major since 1976.
