Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Live Score Australian Open 2024 Final: Sinner vs Medvedev down to one-set shootout

That’s it folks! That’s it from Australian Open. We will meet again for the next Grand Slam event, which is the French Open. It will begin in the final week of May. Hopefully, we get see Rafael Nadal, one last time on Parisian Clay.

First of all, Danil, just want to congrats you and your team for an amazing tournament again. I know we played so many finals already together. But every match I find something where I can improve.

And you make me always a much, much better player. Obviously your effort has been awesome throughout the whole tournament. The hours of the court and also today’s effort.

Running for every ball. It’s remarkable to see. So I hope you can also lift this trophy here.

But I’m sure that you can. So I wish you all the best for the rest of the season. I want to thank all the sponsors, balkit, chair, umpire, everyone who make this event so, so good.

It’s the happy slam. It’s a very nice place to be in Europe. It’s snow and where my parents are.

It’s -20 degrees in the morning. So it’s better running in the sun here. So it’s obviously a huge tournament for me.

But I want to thanks everyone for making this lamp so special. Dennis, my team there, everyone who is in this box and not only also watching from home, who works with me. We are trying to get better every day.

Even during the tournament. We try to get stronger. Trying to understand every situation a little bit better.

So I’m so glad to have you. Have you there supporting me, understanding me. Which sometimes it’s not easy because I’m still a little bit young sometimes.

But it is what it is. I just want to thanks everyone. Most importantly, the support has been crazy throughout the whole two weeks.

You guys make me feel home. So thank you so much. It’s a chord with 15,000 people.

Sinner, who became the youngest male player to win the Australian Open title since Novak Djokovic in 2008 and the first Italian to win a Slam in Melbourne, lifts the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup.

Hope it is not you last Grand Slam title because it’s been what, three finals in a row. So I’ll try my best to do better next time. But really big congrats and you deserve it.

Then I want to thank my team especially for sure Gil, Eric and Gaetan who were here supporting me every day and every night because there was a lot of nights. Oliver, Loik and everyone else who supported me from this corner. I heard you every match, so thanks a lot.

Also, I don’t know, maybe they turned off the tv but Dasha, alisa, you’re watching. I felt like you were there with me and unfortunately I couldn’t make it today. But I’m going to try to make it work next time for you and just everyone because I got a lot of support from my friends, from fans all over the world, from you guys.

So just want to thank everyone. It’s been honestly amazing two weeks. It always hurts to lose in the final, but probably being in the final is better than losing before.

So it. I always want to win, but I guess, yeah, I have to try harder next time. But I’m proud of myself and I’m going to try even harder next time.
