After defeating Alexei Popyrin a few days ago, the Italian champion prevailed in straight sets against Stefanos Tsitsipas today on the iconic Rod Laver Arena. The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria played excellent tennis against a very dangerous opponent on these courts, where he reached the final in 2023.
There is no doubt that the 2-time Grand Slam champion is the top favorite to defend his title and the draw was quite favorable to him. Jannik will make his debut on Monday, January 13 against Chilean Nicolas Jarry, a very powerful player from the baseline and with an excellent serve that could create some problems for the world number 1.

The Italian ace is trying to focus only on tennis despite the fact that the doping case is still open, waiting to know for sure when the trial will take place before the CAS in Lausanne.

During the traditional press-conference before the start of the Happy Slam, the Italian was asked if he wanted to respond to the comments of Nick Kyrgios (who has attacked him many times in the last period).
I dont think I have to answer this, to be honest Jannik stated.
How do I block it? Its not that you just put it in a part and you just say I dont think any more about this. In my mind I know exactly what happened, and thats how I block it, no?
I havent done anything wrong. Thats why Im still here. Thats why Im still playing. I dont want to respond on what Nick said or what other players says.
I think the most important part is to have my people around me who I can trust, people they exactly know what happened. Thats it he added.
