Congrats to him but feels undeserved Medvedev run out of steam after the first 2 sets, doubt he would've won otherwise.

Jannik Sinner was born 16 August 2001 to Hanspeter and Siglinde Sinner in Innichen in the region of South Tyrol in northern Italy.

He grew up in the town of Sexten, the family hometown, where his father and mother work as a chef and a waitress at a ski lodge. He has a brother named Marc. Sinner began both skiing and playing tennis at age three.

He was one of Italy's top junior skiers from eight to twelve years old, winning a national championship in giant slalom at age eight and earning a national runner-up at the age of twelve.

While training in skiing Sinner gave up tennis for a year at the age of seven before his father pushed him to return to the sport.[13] When he resumed playing, he began working with Heribert Mayr as his first regular coach. Nonetheless, tennis was still only his third priority behind skiing and football.

Announcers were talking nonstop about Novak, which is understandable.

I started playing tennis very young with trainer and all that, but eventually got tired of all that repetition. Just to say that I don't believe in the overused stat "unforced errors." All errors in Tennis are forced: the quality of the strokes by your opponent directly affect your own.

Sinner was hitting very low balls which gave Novak less time to act. It evidently threw him off. Excellent strategy and execution by Sinner and his coach. Sinner also matched Novak in serving quality, which is no small feat on its own.

Unreal level from Sinner. Italy is in good hands with him for years to come.

Italy 

Tennis in general. Never saw importance in nationality in individual sport like tennis. I like all Federer, Nadal, Sinner, Alcaraz because of great tennis to watch. Dont like defensive players like Novak, Medvedev, Murray.
