World No.1 Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Australian Open title, defeating Germany's Alexander Zverev in straight sets 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 in the men's singles final at Melbourne Park on Sunday. Sinner dominated the match, not facing a single break point, and extended his winning streak to 21 consecutive sets against top-10 opponents, a new record. This victory marks Sinner's third consecutive Grand Slam title on hard courts and makes him the first Italian player to win three major singles titles. Zverev, the world No.2, has now lost three Grand Slam finals. Sinner's back-to-back Australian Open titles solidify his position as the world's leading player in men's tennis.
