Jannik
Sinner received a flood of congratulations from his peers after clinching the
title at the 2024 Australian Open. Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek,
and Matteo Berrettini are among the stars who conveyed their messages to Sinner
through social media.
The
22-year-old prodigy staged a comeback in a match that seemed sealed in favor of
Daniil Medvedev, but Sinner's response in the third set secured his first Grand
Slam, making him the second Italian man to achieve this feat since 1976.
Sinner
displayed an almost flawless performance throughout much of the tournament in
Melbourne, although the final proved to be the most challenging for the world
No. 4. The Russian dominated the first two sets, and the third set remained
evenly matched until 4-4, where the Italian revived hope with a crucial break.
Sinner turned around an incredible match that ended 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3.
Unfortunately
for Medvedev, this is not the first time he has lost in the Australian Open
final, with previous defeats against Novak Djokovic in 2021 and Rafael Nadal in
2022.
Sinner's
remarkable triumph brings to mind the outcome of the match with Nadal, where
the Spanish player also came back from two sets down to claim the trophy. The
22-times Grand Slam champion was one of those who extended his congratulations
to Sinner:
“Great Jan,
very well done! 👏🏻 Beautiful tournament, your first
Grand Slam!!! 🏆 Warm greetings to you, your team,
your family, and all of Italy that won today with you 🇮🇹”
The
10-times Aussie Open champion, Novak Djokovic, who was eliminated in the
semifinals against Sinner, sent his congratulations to the Italian and also to
Medvedev for his outstanding tournament:
Some
contemporaries of Sinner also conveyed their greetings, including Carlos
Alcaraz and the female world No. 1, Iga Swiatek, among others:
“What a
match, what a fight. Congrats @janniksin”
“I am so
happy for you Jannik! You deserve it more than anyone! Enjoy the moment my friend!”

- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
