Jaw-dropping European win
Sinner not thinking about doping case as he toasts Australian Open win
Jannik Sinner of Italy holds the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup after defeating Alexander Zverev of Germany in the men's singles final at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, January 26, 2025

JANNIK SINNER expressed pride in his continued ability to put his ongoing doping case to one side and dominate on court.
The world number one defeated Alexander Zverev 6-3 7-6 (4) 6-3 to successfully defend his Australian Open title and make it three victories in a row at the hard-court grand slams after he also won the US Open.
Just before the fortnight in New York came the shock news that Sinner had failed two doping tests last March but been cleared of blame, only for that decision to be appealed against by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
