World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is at the peak of his career. The Italian won his second consecutive Australian Open title and third Grand Slam overall on Sunday (January 29).

And just as Djokovic had a couple of hurdles by the names of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to deal with, Sinner is not alone among the newest generation of tennis stars. His top rival at this point is Carlos Alcaraz, who has four Slam victories at age 21 — and won all three matches he played against Sinner in 2024.

Defending champion Jannik Sinner will face Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open men's final on Sunday. Sinner is seeking his third Grand Slam title overall.

Sinner, 23, now has as many major titles as Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka. He also became the first Italian man to win three majors. He improved to 17-3 against To 10 opponents.

After winning his second title in a row at the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner has made the decision to skip the Rotterdam ATP 500 scheduled for next week.

Jannik Sinner continues to break new records and the dream of achieving the 'Calendar Grand Slam' may not be a utopia for this player. The world number 1 is increasingly confident in his means and has further improved his game, becoming almost unstoppable on the hard courts where he has won the last three Grand Slam tournaments played.
