Madison Keys, Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia — Jannik Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the Australian Open final at Melbourne Park Sunday. The No. 1 seed prevailed over the No. 2 seed in a match ultimately decided by Zverev’s discomfort when coming forward, Sinner’s underrated first serve, and a kiss of death from the net.
Facing Sinner reminded Alexander Zverev of trying to solve the challenge presented by the 24-time major champion Djokovic.

MELBOURNE — There’s all sorts of ways beyond merely the score to measure just how dominant Jannik Sinner was while outplaying and frustrating Alexander Zverev during the 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3 victory Sunday that earned the 23-year-old Italian a second consecutive Australian Open championship.
Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said he is confident Novak Djokovic will return to the season-opening Grand Slam next year after injury ended the 37-year-old's latest challenge in the semi-finals at Melbourne Park.
Alexander Zverev says he is feeling down and emotional after once again coming within one win of earning his first Grand Slam title.
Despite an early exit in Singapore, Emma Raducanu feels she actually played better than at the Australian Open.
