Despite still being very young, Jannik Sinner has already shown that he has all the skills necessary to become one of the best players of all time. The world No.1 started 2025 as he finished last season, triumphing at the Australian Open for the second year in a row and confirming that he has no opponents who can counter him on hard courts.
It is not wrong to say that the Italian ace dominated the tournament, never giving the feeling of being in trouble except for the small health problem he suffered against Rune in the round of sixteen. Like all the greatest champions, the 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria also had the ability to raise his level in the decisive rounds and did not lose a single set between the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.
Jannik thus won his third Grand Slam title and his eighth big title, fueling the dream of being able to achieve the 'Calendar Grand Slam'.
Vagnozzi on Sinner's rise
Speaking to the media after the Australian Open final, Sinner's coach Simone Vagnozzi spoke about the future of the world number 1: "He is still very young, but he has already won three Major titles. No one can know what will happen in the future, but he is certainly a special player who tries to improve every day and who experiments with new solutions on the court.
His progresses has been evident both technically and physically. His goal is to become the best player he can be. When we talk about the elite of this sport, we refer above all to Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. We're still a long way from these three legends, but Jannik is definitely one of the players who can try to achieve that status."
If there are no setbacks, the Italian champion will be back in action already in Rotterdam in just over a week. However, it is not excluded that the 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria could change his schedule after his triumph at Melbourne Park.
