Melbourne: Italy’s Jannik Sinner delivered a stunning comeback, reminiscent of Rafael Nadal’s 2022 heroics in Melbourne, as he triumphed over Daniil Medvedev to secure his maiden Grand Slam trophy at the 2024 Australian Open on Sunday. In an epic battle, the 22-year-old fought back from a two-sets-to-love deficit, claiming a remarkable 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 victory in a thrilling three-hour and 44-minute showdown at a packed Rod Laver Arena. This marked his fourth consecutive tour-level win against his formidable opponent.
Sinner’s remarkable win not only etched his name in the history books but also made him the youngest player to clinch the Australian Open men’s singles title since Novak Djokovic achieved the feat as a 20-year-old in 2008. Additionally, Sinner created Italian tennis history by becoming the first Italian man to secure a major title since Adriano Panatta in 1976, making him the third Italian man in history to achieve such a milestone and the first at Melbourne Park.
