Can Sinner Continue to Make History?

Jannik Sinner narrowly avoided a major upset at the 2025 Australian Open with an important victory over Tristan Schoolkate, continuing his impressive form to advance to the third round.

Sinner extended his 15-match winning streak on hard courts at Grand Slam tournaments, solidifying his status as a strong contender for the title. At Rod Laver Arena, the Italian star is set to face American player Marcos Giron, who recently staged a comeback to defeat Schoolkate with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.

Sinner’s Journey to Defend His Title

As the reigning champion at Melbourne, Jannik Sinner has received strong support from experts, including Laura Robson, who believes he is poised to successfully defend his title this year.

Last year, Sinner demonstrated his resilience with a stunning comeback against third seed Daniil Medvedev, winning 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to claim the championship. His success didn’t stop there, as the Italian also secured another Grand Slam title at the 2024 US Open, defeating Taylor Fritz in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5.

Impressive Form at the Australian Open

According to OptaAce, Sinner has made history by becoming the youngest player to achieve 9 consecutive singles wins at the Australian Open since Novak Djokovic between 2008 and 2009.

In his latest match, the 23-year-old took 2 hours and 46 minutes to secure a victory over Schoolkate, just 6 minutes longer than his opening round win against Nicolas Jarry. With consistent performance and high confidence, Sinner is solidifying his position as a dominant force in this year’s Grand Slam tournament.
