Jannik Sinner is now 3-0 in Grand Slam finals after winning second Australian Open title

Jannik Sinner played his first two Grand Slam finals last year and won both of them, defeating Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final and Taylor Fritz in the US Open final.

Tonight he did it again, outdoing Alexander Zverev, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3, to capture his second straight Australian Open title.

And with that victory over the German, Sinner has now become just the eighth man in the Open Era to win their first three career Grand Slam finals.

It’s a star-studded list, too.

MEN TO WIN FIRST THREE OR MORE GRAND SLAM FINALS (Open Era):

• Jimmy Connors: won first 3 [1974 Australian Open, 1974 Wimbledon, 1974 US Open]
• Bjorn Borg: won first 3 [1974 Roland Garros, 1975 Roland Garros, 1976 Wimbledon]
• Stefan Edberg: won first 3 [1985 Australian Open, 1987 Australian Open, 1988 Wimbledon]
• Gustavo Kuerten: won first 3 [1997 Roland Garros, 2000 Roland Garros, 2001 Roland Garros]
• Roger Federer: won first 7 [2003 Wimbledon, 2004 Australian Open, 2004 Wimbledon, 2004 US Open, 2005 Wimbledon, 2005 US Open, 2006 Australian Open]
• Stan Wawrinka: won first 3 [2014 Australian Open, 2015 Roland Garros, 2016 US Open]
• Carlos Alcaraz: has won first 4 [2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon, 2024 Roland Garros, 2024 Wimbledon]
• Jannik Sinner: has won first 3 [2024 Australian Open, 2024 US Open, 2025 Australian Open]

Sinner hasn’t just been perfect in Grand Slam finals since the start of last year, he’s been almost perfect in finals, period.

He’s now 9-1 in tour-level finals since the start of 2024, his only loss in a title match coming to Alcaraz in Beijing last fall, and just barely, 6-7 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (3).

Meanwhile, he’s come away with the trophy the other nine times in that span, eight last year at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, Miami, Halle, Cincinnati, the US Open, Shanghai and the ATP Finals, and now already one more this year at the Australian Open.
