- Italian wins maiden grand slam 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3
- Fatigue sets in for Medvedev after going two sets up
Jannik Sinner has won his first grand slam title after battling back to beat Daniil Medvedev 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in a sensational men’s singles final of the Australian Open.
The Russian has now lost three times in a Melbourne final, having also lost in 2021 and 2022. In all, this was Medvedev’s sixth grand slam final but his 1-5 record is primarily a consequence of having the misfortune of facing greats of the game – Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal – in the five previous finals.
