MELBOURNE :Jannik Sinner retained his Australian Open title with an emphatic 6-3 7-6(4) 6-3 win over Alexander Zverev on Sunday, breaking new ground for Italian tennis and leaving his German rival smarting after a third Grand Slam final defeat.
MELBOURNE : Alexander Zverev said he felt ready to challenge for a long-awaited Grand Slam title at the Australian Open after being spared a heavy workout in the semi-finals due to Novak Djokovic's retirement.
Alexander Zverev said Tuesday he believes he can reach the Australian Open final for the first time and is primed for a "very intense and high-level" clash to get there -- with Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz standing in his way. The German battled into the semi-finals in Melbourne for a second straight year with victory over Tommy Paul, edging closer to his maiden Grand Slam title. The world number two came good when it mattered in two tiebreaks on a hot and windy day for a 7-6 (7/1), 7-6 (7/0), 2-6, 6-1 victory over the 12th-seeded American.
MELBOURNE, Australia — It's five days from the beginning of the Australian Open and Novak Djokovic has just emerged from the shadows of the Rod Laver Arena players tunnel for the first of his pre-tournament practice sessions.

Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff launch their US Open title defences on Monday, Serbian superstar Djokovic aiming to follow up his emotional Paris Olympics triumph with his first Grand Slam title of 2024. Djokovic, seeded second behind world number one Jannik Sinner, is vying to become the first man to repeat in New York since Roger Federer won five straight US Opens from 2004-2008. "Hopefully that changes this year," Djokovic said. "That's the goal." It's been an erratic year for Djokovic, who was hindered by a knee injury and for the first time since 2017 is looking at the prospect of a year without a Grand Slam title.
NEW YORK :Former champion Dominic Thiem's final appearance at the U.S. Open ended tamely on Monday after he was beaten 6-4 6-2 6-2 in the first round by American Ben Shelton.
