SINNER, ZVEREV PREVIEW BLOCKBUSTER FINAL
World No. 1 Sinner is expecting a “mental” battle as he searches for successive Australian Open titles.
“First of all, it’s going to be mental, no? Of course, we played already sometimes,” Sinner said.
“It’s going to be a tough match for both of us. It’s going to be physical, for sure.
“I think he played some incredible tennis to get to the final. It’s tough to say whoever is the favourite in a way because everything can happen.”
Zverev, meanwhile, is aware of the challenge ahead – highlighted by Sinner’s lofty placement at the top of the men’s standings.
-“I think Jannik has been the best player in the world for the past 12 months,” he said.
“There’s no doubt about it. Won two Grand Slams, has been very, very stable in those regards. So definitely one of the best players in the world.”
How will Sinner recover with an ‘incredibly physical’ battle against Zverev to come?
