What an atmosphere in Australia!

Alexander Zverev is the first to enter the court!

The players’ entry onto the court is imminent.

Last year, Sinner won in 5 sets against Medvedev (3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3)

The key to the match will perhaps be the duration. Indeed, the Italian has never won matches lasting more than four hours since the start of his career, very often making the difference beforehand.

It also remains to be seen how the Italian feels physically. Against Rune in the round of 16, he suffered tremors in his right hand.

The mind will be the key to this meeting. The question arises especially on the side of the Italian, who in the past has already led in the Grand Slam final before completely collapsing. We are thinking in particular of his duel with Alcaraz at Roland-Garros in 2024.

There are many issues at stake in this final. Zverev is still chasing his first Grand Slam title while Sinner wants to achieve the double with last year.

During this Australian Open, the two men had a fairly similar course with two sets lost. Zverev has the benefit of having played less in the semi-final after Novak Djokovic’s retirement.

This final promises to be explosive between the two men in top form on the circuit! Sinner has not lost any of his last ten matches played and only one for Zverev!

This is the seventh confrontation between the two players. Zverev leads 4-2 thanks to his victories in Cologne in 2020, the US Open in 2021 and 2023 and Monte-Carlo in 2022. Sinner won their first (Roland-Garros 2020) and last match (Cincinnati 2024).

Defending champion and world No. 1, Jannik Sinner has only lost two sets in his six matches in Melbourne, against Schoolkate and Rune. Ditto for the world No. 2, who only dropped a round against Humbert and Paul. The German also benefited from Djokovic dropping out after a set in the semi-final.
