Sinner Australian Open 2025 Final: Time and Where to Watch the Match Free to Air

Melbourne, January 25, 2025 - Only one remains Alexander Zverev to divide Jannik Sinner from the encore to the Australian Open 2025. By reaching the final act on Oceanic soil, the 2001-born player became the second Italian ever to reach two Slam finals in a row, after Nicholas Pietrangeli, as well as the youngest to reach two consecutive finals in Melbourne since Jim Courier, who reached this milestone in 1993 at 22 years and 167 days. Sinner could also become the fifth player in the Open Era to win the three Slams on hard courts in a row. On the other hand, Zverev is hunting for his first Slam title: in the previous two finals, the German had to give way in 2020 to Dominic Thiem at the US Open and in 2024 at Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros. It was a different story for Sinner, who celebrated at the end of both final acts at the Slam level played.
