Italy's Jannik Sinner comes back from two sets down to defeat Russia's Daniil Medvedev and win his first grand slam title at the Australian Open.
As Jannik Sinner trailed by two sets in his first ever grand slam final, his hopes of attaining the ultimate dream seemed increasingly remote. He looked completely lost. Between points, he shared long, searching looks with his team. At one point, he even told them that he was “dead”. Sinner’s inexperience sharply contrasted with the nous of Daniil Medvedev , who seemed to know exactly what to do.
But Sinner dug far deeper than ever before, and somehow he gradually managed to turn his fortunes around. From staring down the prospect of likely defeat, Sinner, the fourth seed, pulled off the greatest comeback of his life to topple the third seed 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 and win his first grand slam title at the Australian Open. With his astounding victory, Sinner is just the third Italian man to win a grand slam title
