The fourth-ranked player in the world continues to bask in the spotlight after his impressive victory at the prestigious tournament. The Italian emerged as the winner of his first-ever Grand Slam singles title by defeating his opponent in the finals at Melbourne Park.
Following his remarkable comeback in the finals, the Italian is filled with confidence. Since then, he has been occupied with various celebrations and engagements. He was invited by Italy’s Prime Minister and President to a meeting in order to congratulate him on his historic accomplishment.
Similar to what happened with his rival after winning the 2022 US Open, Sinner is aware that he will be a prime target for many of his opponents. Even though the World No. 1 is still a dominant force in the sport, the Italian acknowledges that even Novak Djokovic would seek revenge for his defeat in the semi-finals.
Jannik acknowledged that his triumph at the Australian Open has exposed his game plan. While he managed to stage a comeback, it is a rare occurrence for a player to recover from being two sets down in a major final. With his game now fully revealed, the talented Italian discussed how things will inevitably change.

Since his victory in Melbourne, Sinner has yet to participate in a competitive match. However, the wait for fans will come to an end this week as the Grand Slam champion will compete at the upcoming tournament. With Djokovic and Medvedev absent and Alcaraz occupied in South America, Sinner is the top-ranked player in the event.
He will begin his campaign against his opponent. It will be a challenging match for the Italian as his opponent has proven themselves on numerous occasions on the Tour and will likely have the support of the crowd. Nevertheless, with the confidence gained from winning the title in Australia, Sinner will undoubtedly not back down.
The second round could be even more intriguing for the Italian as he will face the winner of the match between Denis Shapovalov and Gael Monfils, provided he defeats Zandschulp. In-form players such as and could also be potential opponents in the later stages of the tournament, making it an event to eagerly anticipate.
