Jannik Sinner is the youngest Melbourne winner since Novak Djokovic. He thanks his parents for giving him the freedom to decide his own goals – including moving from the mountains to the Mediterranean when he was 14.
The new Australian Open winner went to the Melbourne Botanical Garden for the official photo shoot on Monday. Jannik Sinner sat down on the grass next to the heavy silver trophy; He wasn’t drawn to the mysterious giant trees that Novak Djokovic loves to hug. According to gardeners’ information, these are the thick-stemmed Moreton Bay Fig Trees, the native large-leaved fig. However, Sinner, who knocked out the 24-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic from the tournament in the semi-finals, ignored the meditation trees. The Australian summer and the warmth were enough for him to triumph. “Where my family lives, it’s minus 20 degrees early in the morning,” he explained to the 14,000 spectators in the stadium the night before. It’s much nicer to “run here in the sun.”
