The World No. 1 secures his third Grand Slam title while awaiting an appeal hearing over doping allegations.

• Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets (6-3, 7-6, 6-3) to claim his second consecutive Australian Open title and third Grand Slam overall.
• Sinner's victory comes as he prepares for an April hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, following WADA’s appeal of a previous ruling clearing him of doping violations.
• The Italian maintains his innocence, attributing the positive test for Clostebol to a physiotherapy mishap and emphasizing his transparency and focus on the court.
• Zverev faced heckling during the awards ceremony, with a protestor referencing past allegations of abuse against him, which he has denied and settled in court without an admission of guilt.
• Sinner credited his Australian coach Darren Cahill for his continued success, describing their relationship as familial and instrumental in his rise to World No. 1.
