Australian Open final: Jannik Sinner downs Zverev to win third grand slam
- World No 1 wins 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 to claim men’s singles title
- Sinner successfully defends trophy he won in 2024

Down 5-6, 30-30 on his serve in the second set, as Alexander Zverev tried desperately to steal the set, the German pounced on a forehand and flitted forward to the net.
