Alnoor gaming presents Jannik Sinner wins Australian Open, claims first major title

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Jannik Sinner pulled off a remarkable comeback from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the Australian Open men's final Sunday.

The fourth-seeded Sinner, who had lost only one set coming into the deciding match, appeared destined to lose in straight sets as the third-seeded Medvedev blasted his way to a quick two-set advantage. But the Italian found his feet midway through the final and prevailed in a battle of will and endurance over 3 hours, 44 minutes.

It marks the first career major title for Sinner and an unwanted record for Medvedev, who became the first person in Grand Slam history to lose multiple finals after winning the first two sets. Medvedev also squandered a two-set advantage to Rafael Nadal in Melbourne in 2022.

"I was in a little bit of trouble today at two sets to one down in a little over an hour," Sinner said. "So I just tried to stay positive, trying to stick to the game plan, which I had to adjust a little bit. Daniil is an incredible player and showed also again he is an incredible fighter."

Playing in his first Slam final, the 22-year-old Sinner started nervously. Medvedev broke in the third game of the match, no mean feat given Sinner had held serve for 86 of 88 service games coming into Sunday.
