The final men's singles final of the 2025 Australian Open was reloaded at 4:30 p.m. today. On the one hand, the defending champion of the world's No. 1 and the Italian newcomer Wang Sinner, born in 2001, and the world No. 2, the German tank Zverev Jr., born in 1997, on the other. Such a 2025 Australian Open final matchup, although compared to Sinner vs Alcaraz and Sinner vs Djokovic, the highlights are a little lacking, but the two top two players in the world compete for the final championship, which should be said to be well deserved.
This is the third time in his career that Italian newcomer Wang Sinner has reached a Grand Slam final. In the final of the 2024 Australian Open, Sinner staged a shocking reversal, defeating Russian Tsar Dmitry Medvedev, who was striving for a second Grand Slam title in his career, to win the first Grand Slam title of his career. In the 2024 U.S. Open final, Sinner, who is already the world's No. 1, defeated American dad Fritz, who reached the Grand Slam final for the first time in his career, in three sets, and lifted the Grand Slam championship trophy for the second time. Sinner has reached two Grand Slam finals before, winning two Grand Slam titles, and this afternoon's third Grand Slam final, can Sinner continue to work hard and win three crowns?
This is the third time in his career that Zverev has reached a Grand Slam final. In the 2020 U.S. Open final, Zverev Jr., the leader of the post-95 players who entered the Grand Slam final for the first time in his career, suddenly dropped the chain after winning two sets, lost three sets in a row, and handed over the first Grand Slam championship trophy of the post-90s players to Austrian star Thiem, which has also become the eternal pain of Zverev's career so far!
In the 2024 season, after returning from injury in the 2023 season, Zverev Jr. finally ushered in a new outbreak after a year of hard work. At the beginning of the year, he led the German team to win the United Cup, won glory for his country, and then reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, won the Rome Masters, and even reached the final of the French Open, which is the second time in Zverev's career that he has reached a Grand Slam final in nearly four years. Unfortunately, Zverev Jr. once again missed a 2:1 lead in the first three sets, and was defeated by Alcaraz, a talented post-00 player, the youngest world No. 1 in men's tennis, and a Spanish all-round fighter, and fell to the second Grand Slam runner-up in his career. In the third Grand Slam final this afternoon, can Zverev Jr. win a Grand Slam title for the first time in his career?
Born in 1997, 1.98 meters tall German tank Zverev Jr., with excellent physical condition and high tennis talent, as early as the 2017 season, with the final victory over the two giants Djokovic and Federer's dazzling record, won the Rome and Canada Rogers Cup Masters respectively, becoming the first to emerge and become famous post-95 players. In 2018 and 2021, Zverev Jr. won the ATP Finals twice. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Zverev Jr. won the gold medal and won glory for the country. So far in his career, Zverev Jr. has won the championship of the year-end finals, the championship of the Masters, the Olympic gold medal and other important competitions, but Zverev Jr. has won the Grand Slam championship, and Zverev Jr. has no chance to achieve it.
Why did Austrian star Thiem (2020 US Open champion) and Russian Tsar Dmitry Medvedev (2021 US Open champion), two post-90s and post-95s players who became famous later than Zverev Jr., have won the first Grand Slam championship trophy of their careers? Even Zverev Jr.'s juniors, post-00 players Alcaraz, the Spanish all-round fighter and Italian newcomer Wang Sinner, have won the Grand Slam championship four times and twice, why has Zverev Jr. never been able to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, win the first Grand Slam championship trophy of his career?
Because Zverev's psychological quality is not strong enough, the first shot, especially the second shot, is easily affected at the critical moment, and it is difficult to give full play to his powerful power. Because Zverev Jr. did not manage his emotions well on the field, his temper was short-tempered and even completely out of control, so that he was repeatedly punished by the ATP and the tournament organizing committee in his career. Because of Zverev's careless behavior off the court, he was repeatedly accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend, and the lawsuits continued, making it difficult to concentrate on the game.
Since the 2024 season, Zverev Jr. has changed significantly, he has become more involved in the game, his record has been improving, and he is ranked second in the world at the end of the year, setting a new career high. Because Zverev, who is about to turn 28 years old, is more mentally mature, more emotionally stable, and the lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend has also been negotiated and settled, so that he can go all out to devote himself to the game and maximize his physical advantages and hitting power.
However, in order to win the 2025 Australian Open Toad Palace, get his wish and win the first Grand Slam championship trophy of his career, Zverev Jr. must also climb the last mountain, which is the defending champion who has already won two Grand Slam championship trophies, an outstanding representative of post-00 players, the current world No. 1, and Italian newcomer Wang Sinner. It's just three things, Xiaozi won the championship? The opportunity is in front of you, little Zverev, go ahead!
