Jannik Sinner, 22 years old, he is the new Australian Open champion. The first in a decade outside the dominance imposed by the ‘Big 3’, Novak Djokovic (in particular), Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. He took the witness that the Swiss left in 2014 Stan Wawrinka.
The first Italian to win this Grand Slam staged an epic comeback in the final against the Russian Daniel Medvedev completing his excellent performance in the semis, a round in which he ended Djokovic’s 33-match unbeaten streak.
‘Nole’, who hasn’t left Melbourne immediately since his round of 16 loss in 2018 against South Korean Hyeon Chungissued a message on social networks after the tournament.
In surprise, because it is double. The Serbian finished his training in Italy, fleeing the Balkan War. To those who helped him, Riccardo Piatti, the coach who modeled Jannik Sinner since he was a child. He is fluent in Italian, the language in which he spoke with his successor in Australia.
“Bravo Jannik. Well deserved. Congratulations, to your family and your team,” he addressed Djokovic on Sinner.
But more people follow his story on Instagram. The Balkans paid tribute to a man who lost the Australian Open final for the third time. He saved a detail for Daniel Medvedev. “Great effort from Daniil. Unlucky today, but you had an incredible tournament,” Djokovic said.
