World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defended his Australian Open title on Sunday, comfortably defeating Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 in the men’s final to secure his third career grand slam win. Just over a year ago, Sinner hadn’t won a grand slam title; he was still a promising youngster, unproven but earmarked for great things. Now, the 23-year-old Italian has three grand slam titles – two at the Australian Open and one at the US Open – and has been the dominant player on the men’s tour since he gained the mantle of world No. 1 last June. Against Zverev, he was also dominant, becoming just the fourth male player in the last 35 years to win a grand slam final without even conceding a single break point, despite never really playing his best tennis. But still, a cloud hangs over Sinner’s win since it comes against the backdrop of ongoing controversy off the court. He avoided suspension last year after testing positive for Clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid, in March 2024. The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced in August that he wasn’t at fault for the incident, but the World Anti-Doping Agency has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The hearing is set to begin on April 16. This is a developing story and will be updated.
