Winning the first Major title is never easy. However, stepping in and defending it a year later is even harder! Jannik Sinner achieved that at this year's Australian Open, continuing where he left a year ago and extending his Melbourne reign.
Jannik Sinner joined some of tennis' greatest legends with another stellar performance in the Australian Open final.
Sinner clinched his third Grand Slam title with a straight-sets victory over Alexander Zverev in last weekend's Australian Open final. And at 23 years old, he has plenty of time to add to that tally and begin clawing his way up the all-time rankings.
Jannik Sinner has confirmed, if there was still any need, his status as ruler of the ATP Tour, also underlined by the two incredible victories performed against Alex De Minaur and Ben Shelton, respectively in the quarterfinals and in the semifinals at the Australian Open 2025.
There are many exceptional talents in the game today. Many players possess the ability to win tournaments and perform on big stages. Throughout tennis history, certain players have stood above the rest.
In fact, only the Big 3 have won more matches than the Italian in his last 100 games. Sinner has 93 victories, just one less than the Spaniard's 94 and two less than the Serbian's 95. The Swiss Maestro's record is monstrous, capable of an incredible streak of 97 matches won out of 100. But Sinner is there.
