Jannik Sinner is a Grand Slam champion!

The 22-year-old Italian tennis player won his first major title, defeating Russia’s 27-year-old Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling five-set match that lasted 3 hours 46 minutes.

This is an impressive feat for Jannik, who showed an immense amount of perseverance and battled back from two sets down. The final scoreline: 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

Even more impressive, Jannik overcame 10-time champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (8), 6-3, and only lost one set in the entire tournament.

Jannik is the first Italian to ever win the AO singles title and the youngest champion since Novak in 2008.

This is the first final at the Australian Open since 2005 that tennis’s legendary “Big 3” didn’t compete: Novak, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. 19 years!

It’s also been an entire decade since someone outside of the “Big 3″ won AO (Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka won in 2014).

Jannik‘s friend and fellow tennis champ, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, congratulated Jannik after the tournament, saying, “I am so happy for you Jannik! 👏🏻 You deserve it more than anyone! 🏆 Enjoy the moment my friend! 😀”. In 2022, Carlos became the youngest man at 19 years and two months to rank number one in the world after playing in and winning his first Grand Slam tournament, The US Open.

Tomorrow, Daniil will face off against his friend, fellow Russian Karen Khachanov, who beat out Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo, 6-3, 6-2.

“[Karen and I] have known each other [for] a long time,” Daniil shared at his post-match conference. “We are exactly the same age group. So starting from all the young tournaments, we played together. I remember that just before the under-14 age group, he was actually not one of the best in Russia. I was not the best one also. Maybe a little bit higher ranked than him. Then he went really fast up. He got a few wildcards, beat a few top guys when he was like 15 or 16. So, yeah, he had a good rise. We had a good rise together to the ATP Tour. We already achieved a lot. It’s great. You know, we still spend time together. We are great friends, and I feel like we respect each other a lot.”
