SINNER USES ‘AMAZING’ RUN THROUGHOUT MELBOURNE IN FINALS WIN OVER ZVEREV
Sinner uses his “amazing” run throughout Melbourne that was rewarded with a 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3, win over Alexander Zverev in the final.
Furthermore, the Italian world No.1 admitted being “quite aggressive” since day 1, capped by his strong start against his German world No.2 opponent.
Moreover, Sinner cited “serving very well” and getting “into the zone very fast” as key factors he dismantled Zverev in straight sets.
“I felt like how I entered the court trying to be quite aggressive in the beginning, this gave me then the confidence that I feel the ball in a certain way,” the 23-year-old said.
“Well, it was an amazing performance from my side. All things considered, amazing run again here in Australia, I’m extremely happy,” he added.
ZVEREV ADMITS DIFFICULTY TO GO THROUGH SINNER AS ‘PRIME NOVAK’
Moreover, Zverev admitted that it was difficult not just for him but for anyone to go through Sinner playing like “Prime Novak.”
Furthermore, the German was referring to 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, whom he beat in the semifinal after the Serbian retired due to a leg injury.
Zverev acknowledges that Sinner is “better than me” and is in a “different universe” altogether in Melbourne.
“In general, I think Jannik is better than me at the moment. So at the end of the day, he deserves to win,” the 27-year-old said.
“He’s in a different universe right now to anyone else. It’s like he’s prime Novak (Djokovic). It’s so difficult to go through him,” he added.
KEYS SAYS THERAPY TO ‘UNBURDEN’ MAJOR TITLE QUEST HELPED HER BEAT SABALENKA IN FINAL
Furthermore, Madison Keys says her therapy to “unburden” her quest to clinch a first-ever major helped in her victory over Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s singles final.
Moreover, the American 19th seed just “lay it on the line” without pressure of finally claiming a Grand Slam in her 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory over Sabalenka.
The 29-year-old thus became the second-oldest first-time major winner after China’s Li Na won in Melbourne at 31 in 2014.
“I just kept telling myself, ‘Be brave, go for it, just kind of lay it all out on the line.'” Keys said.
“I really wanted it (major), but it’s no longer the thing that was going to define me, and kind of letting go of that burden, I finally gave myself the ability to play for it,” she added.
