Jannik Sinner, the reigning Australian Open champion and world number one, is gearing up for a pivotal 2025 season. Following a historic 2024 where he captured his first US Open title, the ATP Finals, the Davis Cup, and three Masters 1000 trophies, Sinner is now setting his sights on defending his Australian Open crown.

This marks the first time in his career that the 22-year-old Italian will defend a Grand Slam title, a challenge he’s embracing with meticulous preparation. Speaking in an interview ahead of the tournament, Sinner outlined his strategy for the lead-up to Melbourne.

“I try to take it day by day; we still have ten more days to prepare,” he shared. “I have a chance to play a couple of exhibition matches here before we start, and hopefully, this can give me the rhythm to play like last year at the Australian Open.”

The Italian superstar’s decision to participate in exhibition matches highlights his focus on fine-tuning his game ahead of the season’s first Grand Slam. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Sinner can maintain his dominance and add to his growing legacy in 2025.
