Australian Open tennis final / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 Australian Open Men's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the men's singles tournament at the 2024 Australian Open, contested by fourth-seed Jannik Sinner and third-seed Daniil Medvedev. Sinner came back to defeat Medvedev from two-sets-to-love down, marking the second such loss for Medvedev in the Australian Open final after his defeat to Rafael Nadal in the 2022 final.[1] It was Sinner's first major final. He became the second Italian man in the Open Era to win a singles major, after Adriano Panatta at the 1976 French Open,[2] and the first new Australian Open champion in ten years, since Stan Wawrinka in 2014.[3] At 22, Sinner was the youngest Australian Open men's singles champion and finalist since Novak Djokovic in 2008.[4] This was the first Australian Open final since 2005 not to feature any of the Big Three members.[5]
