The security made person: mental order that reflects the order in the field. An implacable Jannik Sinner enters the field from the first set, measuring the lines of the field at number two in the world, giving the idea of always knowing exactly what to do and to be able to do it independent of the opponent’s performance. It is not easy, under pressure, to have control of everything, knowing that there is the second player in the world after you, in the excellent state of form.
Yet the feeling is that Jannik Sinner had the key to the game from the first moment and not only for the six winning services in a row at the start, the opposite of what had happened in the semifinal with Shelton, where the service had betrayed in Start. Sascha Zverev has always been there, he did not make obvious errors, the second set was played to the Tiebreak, but the feeling has always been that Sinner had the dominion of himself, of his game, and for this path of the opponent.
It is never easy to play against Sinner: one who almost never makes a mistake and responds on the field, near the cross -country line even to the best services of the circuit, those that nobody is used to seeing go back, unless there are Jannik from there Sinner or the best Djokovic.
It was not an easy week, inside the field he suffered a complicated moment from a physical point of view against Rune, a game in which he has admirably managed a moment of particular and evident physical difficulty. They are moments that affect the off -field. It is the complication of being a number one: every pin that falls makes the noise a deflagration, every detail generates a laugh of the illications, of un verified hypotheses, of morbid curiosities.
During the second week of the tournament there were at least two moments of fibrillation: When Jannik Sinner let himself be escaped what was still a secret for the rest of the world, the withdrawal at the end of the year of his Supercoach Darren Cahill, Which triggered an uncontrollable Totonomi crazy. The second time in that moment of physical discomfort in the field, in which an evident tremor has become the subject of speculation.
Sinner seemed to absorb everything without worries: whether it is true or poker tactic as he calls it, it is not known. The reserve is its figure, now known in the world, self -control the measure of all things. It would be even if those who control themselves like this, imperturbable apparently, somatized something from time to time. Jannik Sinner shakes his shoulders, every now and then repeats: “We are just playing tennis”, as if to say that the world, reality important things go around elsewhere. However, it is increasingly difficult to preserve and protect the daily, normal, relationships, when you are, as the British eternally “on the spot” say so, under an eternal reflector that is a great privilege, but also an investigator, scrutinist, where Each criticism comes amplified, where every trivial word takes on the weight of a revealed truth carved in the stone. But it is the price to pay in the first square and Sinner seems to have found the key to not staying crushed.
Jannik Sinner seems to be on the pitch, as if that rectangle with white lines, was his comfort zone, his safety bubble, not the place where the whole world claims that it does nothing less than always winning. It would be said that under pressure Jannik is perfectly comfortable And this calm Olympic ends up destabilizing those who are there from the net. It also happened to Zverev in the final of the Australian Open 2025: in the tiebreak of the second set he had his chance to approach after one to zero but in the end he always went as he dictated the inertia of the game.
Sinner has always ended up taking the break of advantage, mini or maxi who was, almost waiting for the opponent on the river bank, and to bring home his third slam and his second consecutive Australian open in three sets of final. As it seemed written in the stars, but more in the game and in the gaze from the beginning. In the end, Zverev’s tears and Sinner’s climb to the stands to embrace his own are the measure of the difference in the field, an apparently not enormous difference on paper yet abysmal inside the field, as shown by the fact that Jannik did not have to face even A break ball, a sign of a meeting managed at zero risk.
