To little surprise, Jannik Sinner dispatched Alexander Zverev in the 2025 Aussie Open Final. The undisputed best player in the world went up against a guy who consistently crumbles when a grand slam title is on the line. Aside from the second set, when Sinner's physical level dipped a bit, this was never particularly close. It was just a bunch of this…

and this…

You can do so much right with a point against Jannik Sinner and it just doesn't matter because he's that good. Blistering forehands, instincts, hands, timing, IQ. It's all there all the time in relentless fashion. Zverev is the second ranked player in the world and seemingly gives everyone else on tour fits, but he has no answer for Sinner's tools. The big serve can only bail him out of so many chances before the rest of his game breaks down. For Zverev to win a slam he has to enter these big matches taking chances and upping his aggression. Despite an obvious need to do that he refuses and just goes through the motions despite his many talents.  He was emotionally crushed after this one. 

Sure, it didn't help in the 2nd set tiebreak when the net cord went against him in a brutal way. 

But at the same time Zverev never once brought on a break point against Sinner's serve. The closest he came was 0-30, up 6-5 in the 2nd, but proceeded to lose four straight points and head to the tiebreak. For the most part, this was a dud of a match as most of the men's matches were in the later stages of this tournament. It was the women who brought on the memorable fireworks thanks in big part to Madison Keys. Still so stoked that she was able to win the other night. 

As said previously, Sinner remains the top dawg on the tour and there's a pretty big gap between him and the rest. He's now up to three slams, two down in Australia. He's won 90% of his matches since October of 2023. Only two things can challenge him, Carlos Alcaraz and a steroid test. We'll see whether he's facing a ban or not in the Spring after WADA conducts their investigation, but for now Sinner's tennis speaks for itself. On hard courts there is no beating him. Carlos has the upper hand on clay and grass, but consistently over the course of the full season Jannik stands tall for now. The world needs these two facing off in the US Open final at the end of the summer. 

P.S. Big props to Jannik for getting that done in straights so I can salvage some sleep before football gets going.
