Rising Italian tennis star Jannik Skinner has been crowned this year's Australian Open men's champion, after beating Russia's Daniil Medvedev in five sets 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3. This is the first Grand Slam win for the 22-year-old Italian, who only dropped one set on his way to the final. Jannik was seeded fourth in the tournament, and was appearing in his first major final in Melbourne.
The Italian player had an impressive run to reach Sunday's Australian Open final, ending 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic’s 33-match winning streak at Melbourne Park in a four-set semifinal victory. Djokovic had never lost in Australia after reaching the final four.
