The Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner is back at the gym, not resting on his laurels and continuing his training regime! Jannik met the Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni in Rome on Tuesday afternoon. The 22-year-old hit the gym the next morning, staying in shape ahead of his next tournament in Rotterdam.
Sinner withdrew from next week’s ATP 250 event in Marseille, needing more time off the court after a historic triumph in Melbourne. Jannik entered the Australian Open as the 4th seed, reaching the semi-final with five straight-sets victories, including one over Andrey Rublev.
Jannik ousted a ten-time Melbourne Park champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-final and came from two sets to love down in the final versus Daniil Medvedev.

Thus, the young gun became Italy’s first male Major champion since 1976!
Sinner scored his third victory over Djokovic within two months, ousting a 24-time Major winner 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 for a place in his first Major final. Jannik became the first player to beat Novak in the Australian Open semi-final, displaying an incredible level and dethroning the Serb.
The Italian tamed his strokes nicely and left world no. 1 far behind in the shortest rallies up to four strokes. Playing miles below his best, Djokovic created no break points in the entire clash, stealing the third set after saving a match point but standing inferior in the remaining three sets.
