In a few hours, a new name will be added to the already well-stocked list of winners of the Australian Open, owned by Novak Djokovic, knocked out of his home by the young Jannik Sinner in the semi-final. The Italian, a rookie at this stage of the Grand Slam competition, will he be able to tame his nerves to channel the stress and “mindgames” of his opponent, the indescribable Daniil Medvedev? This is perhaps the only unknown in this unprecedented final in Melbourne. For the rest, all the signals are tilted in favor of Sinner. Confidence, physical freshness and consistency, everything is to the advantage of the former skier. But we know the Russian’s ability to defy the odds.
