Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open 2024 on Sunday at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, defeating Daniil Medvedev 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
Jannik Sinner, 22, defeated a two-set deficit at Melbourne Park to win his first Grand Slam.
After five sets of play that lasted three hours and forty-five minutes, the Italian won, displaying his poise and will on the biggest stage.

The 22-year-old has defeated 10 opponents ranked in the Top 5 in his last 11 outings.
After winning his first Slam, Sinner faltered a little, but he stood up to thank the crowd for their constant support. He hugged his coaches in his box.
