This one was in straight sets, over the willing but outmatched Alexander Zverev. The source of the music was later revealed to be an electronic music festival a kilometre away from Melbourne Park, but its impact on the match was undeniable.
Sinner’s virtuosity was on full display as he served in four-four time, with a bassline from the baseline that left his opponent struggling to keep up. The Italian did not give up a single break-point chance against the world No 2, and his drop shot transformed Zverev into a frustrated and defeated player.

Zverev, on the other hand, was left to ponder what could have been. Despite his supreme form and recent victory over Novak Djokovic, he was unable to find a way to combat Sinner’s power and control. His attempts to come forward largely ended in failure, scratching out barely one in two points at the net.
A Humbling Experience for Zverev

He admitted that Sinner is superior in almost every aspect of the game, with better movement, forehand, backhand, return, and volley skills. This realization will undoubtedly be a tough pill to swallow for the German player.
As Zverev reflected on his defeat, he acknowledged that Sinner is “in a different universe right now” compared to everyone else. This statement speaks volumes about the Italian player’s exceptional talent and skill, which has left even his opponents in awe.
