23-year-old Jannik Sinner has been a big talent on the tennis circuit for several years now, but last year in Melbourne he took his biggest step up when he won his first Grand Slam, beating Daniil Medvedev to take home the Australian Open title.
He went on to win the US Open 2024 too, cementing his status as a hard court specialist as he beat American starlet Taylor Fritz. He'd already become world number one earlier in the summer, and finished the year in a dominant position atop the rankings.
He's currently on track to make another final at the Australian Open – he's breezed past a fairly easy draw so far, and will face American Ben Shelton in the semi-final on Friday. If he makes the final, he'll play either Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev for the title.

What does Jannik Sinner's route to the Australian Open 2025 final look like?
As the top seed, Jannik Sinner has been handed a favorable draw, and won't face his main opponents until late in the tournament.
Sinner has an easy route through the first three rounds, and shouldn't face much challenge at all until Round 4, where he could meet Holger Rune (13), Hubert Hurkacz (18) or Matteo Berretini.
If he makes it through Round 4, which he should, the highest-seeded players that Sinner could meet in the Quarter-final are Alex de Minaur (8) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (11).
For his Semi-final, the big threats would be Taylor Fritz (4) or Daniil Medvedev (5) – the two players he beat in Grand Slam finals in 2024.
If he secures a spot in the final, Sinner would meet for the first time one of the big names in the other half of the draw, including Sinner's peer and perennial rival Carlos Alcaraz (3) and second seed Alexander Zverev. Novak Djokovic (7) and Casper Ruud (6) are also threats in the other half of the draw.
Though Sinner is expected to breeze through the first part of the tournament, he'll have some big opposition coming up, and the prospect of a Sinner vs Alcaraz final is a mouthwatering one, as the two stars have yet to meet in a top-level final.
