Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Highlights Australian Open Final 2024: Sinner beat Medvedev 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to win his first Grand Slam title
Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Highlights Australian Open 2024 Final: Jannik Sinner was visibly nervous at the start - and who wouldn't be, especially one playing their first-ever Grand Slam match? Moreover, he was up against an opponent who did every bit of his homework coming into the match as evident from his court position and wanting to pepper the forehand side of Sinner, while not allowing him to serve-and-volley. It was a more aggressive Medvedev on display and Sinner failed to match his speed and the Italian, who was touted as the overwhelming favourite, went two-sets-to-love down in quick time. But the No. 4 seed gradually improved, finding more first-serves in and controlling the longer rallies from the baseline, while Medvedev began to look more and more tired. Sinner clinched the third and the fourth before handing Medvedev a painful repeat of the 2022 final in Melbourne against Rafael Nadal. With the win, Sinner clinched his maiden Slam while Medvedev became the first player to lose to Australian Open finals from a two-set-led position.

Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Live Score Australian Open 2024 Final: Medvedev reflects on his three consecutive losses against Sinner
“He did a little more serve-and-volley, maybe a little more aggressive, but at the same time that's what he's doing against everyone. He's just playing better. The three matches, all of them were tough. Two tie-breaks and two three-setters. I had my chances. All of them were in the end of the season where I felt like I was not at my 100 per cent, even if I was playing pretty good. I was maybe at 97, 96 per cent, and against him you need to be at 100.”
