Jannik Sinner playing different tune to everyone else in dismantling of Zverev Zverev admits the world No 1 is superior in almost every aspect of the game, as the Italian claims his third slam title.
Sinner now has back-to-back Australian Open trophies and is one of only eight players who have won their first three grand slam finals, following in the footsteps of Carlos Alcaraz, another of the newest generation who have now surpassed the likes of Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev.
An unmistakable drumbeat, the bass reverberating to a rhythm throughout the 162 minutes it took for Jannik Sinner to win his third grand slam title.
On championship point, he seemed to amplify the German’s misery as a drop shot transformed the normally statuesque Zverev into Bambi on the blue Melbourne Park ice.
The percussion was coming from outside Rod Laver Arena but here inside, the strings section of Sinner’s virtuosity was obvious.
