The champion is happy, wrinkled by a restless night but finally pleased with his second Australian Open trophy in his arms, as reported by the newspaper Corriere della Sera. The final souvenir photos, the encounter with an Italian child at the local tennis club, representing all the young admirers worldwide who regard Jannik Sinner as a role model, a point of reference, and an adult whose dedication to his work they will aspire to emulate one day. He has just celebrated his triumph in Melbourne, the third Grand Slam title of his career at the age of 23, but now his ideas are clear: "I am looking forward to my small hometown. My work here in Melbourne is done. I won a tournament that means a lot to me because positive experiences have always happened to me in Melbourne, both on and off the court. Winning requires a lot of effort. Winning twice requires even more". He is now looking forward to some well-deserved rest: "My body requires time to recover. I would enjoy more freedom, but I know myself. It is all or nothing for me: if I work, I devote my entire time to tennis. Rather, I prefer to take an extra day off since once I start, I don't stop. Throughout the season, we will see if it is possible to add a few more days off". Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open, the first grand slam of 2025, confirming the title he won a year ago.
