Everyone who’s watching from home, especially my family.. I wish everyone could have my parents. They always let me choose whatever I wanted to. Even when I was younger, I played some other sports.. they never put pressure on me. I wish this freedom is possible for as many young kids as possible. Thank you so much to my parents.

It’s a huge tournament for me. It’s the ‘Happy Slam’, it’s a very, very nice place to be.

Notably, Sinner is only the second Italian man to achieve singles glory at a major, following Adriano Panatta in 1976. Also, he did it in some style. The 22-year-old beat Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic, and Daniil Medvedev en route to his title win in Melbourne.

With this Sinner became the youngest player to defeat top 5 opponents in the final three matches of a major since Michael Stich did it at Wimbledon in 1991.

While the Italian celebrates his victory, the expectation will skyrocket when the 22-year-old will take the court next time. Anyways, Sinner has finally won his maiden Grand Slam title and he will hope to increase the count to two as soon as possible.
