Jannik Sinner's 2025 Australian Open Title By The Numbers

Can Jannik Sinner be beaten? Not on hard courts, of late, anyway. The Italian defended his Australian Open title on Sunday by beating German Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 in the final. As Zverev said, “You’re the best player in the world by far.”

UTR Sports takes a look at the numbers behind Sinner’s incredible run Down Under.

Jannik Sinner's Australian Open Title By the Numbers

21

Sinner has now won 21 consecutive hard-court matches at major championships. It’s a run that dates back to his 2024 Australian Open run and includes his 2024 US Open title. During that stretch, world No.1 Sinner has beaten six top 10 players.

“On hard court I feel more comfortable, no? I think that we can see. But I take it as positive because on the other surfaces I still have to improve, I have to see how it works,” Sinner said. “I'm going to put a lot of energy in that, trying to find the right ways, and hopefully to go far also in the other Grand Slams who are not played on hard court. Then we see.”

Sinner now has three Grand Slam titles at the age of 21. But Sinner’s second Australian Open title was another learning experience.

“What I understood this time is every day is different. You have days where you might feel a bit not 100%, and then the next match all of a sudden, ‘Okay, I'm into the tournament.’ I think I've learned many things throughout one year, not watching about result, but how I am as a person and how I handle the situation on the court,” Sinner said.

Zverev fell to 0-3 in Grand Slam finals with his loss against Sinner. The world No. 2 let leads slip in his first two Grand Slam finals. Zverev led Dominic Thiem two sets to zero in the 2020 US Open final and was up two sets to one against Alcaraz in the 2024 Roland Garros final.

But the German never had such luck against the Italian.

“I don't want to end my career as the best player of all time to never win a Grand Slam, that's for sure. I'll keep doing everything I can to lift one of those trophies,” Zverev said.

2006

Sinner won his first major title at the 2024 Australian Open. By defending his maiden Grand Slam title, the Italian became the first men’s singles player to do so since Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros in 2006.

“It was an amazing performance from my side. I felt like I was in the beginning of the match serving really well and trying to get into the zone very fast,” Sinner said. “I felt like how I entered the court trying to be quite aggressive in the beginning, this gave me then the confidence that I feel the ball in a certain way.”

The number of rallies that lasted nine or more shots that Sinner won, compared to 13 for Zverev, according to the ATP Tour.
