Zverev Set to Face Sinner in Australian Open Final
Alexander Zverev aims for his first Grand Slam title against top-ranked Jannik Sinner, who carries both form and controversy into the final.
- Alexander Zverev advanced to his first Australian Open final after Novak Djokovic retired injured during their semifinal match.
- Zverev seeks to become the first German male Grand Slam champion since Boris Becker in 1996, marking a historic milestone in his career.
- Final opponent Jannik Sinner, the reigning Australian Open champion and current world number one, enters the match on a 20-match winning streak but reported minor cramps after his semifinal win.
- Sinner faces ongoing scrutiny due to a doping controversy, with a potential suspension still under review by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in April.
- Zverev, who has lost two previous Grand Slam finals, expressed confidence in his preparation and received public support from Novak Djokovic, who praised his sportsmanship and readiness for the title.
