Melbourne, Jan 26 (Reporter) In the wake of his Australian Open triumph, Jannik Sinner's display of sportsmanship has become as much of a talking point as his victory. Following his win against Alexander Zverev in the final here on Sunday, Sinner was seen with his hands on Zverev's shoulders in a heartfelt moment of support. The German was visibly emotional, struggling with the weight of his loss and the pressure of past near-misses in Grand Slam finals. During the post-match interview, AO BlueZone, the official online AO broadcaster, remarked on the Italian's gesture, acknowledging both the exceptional level of tennis and the humility Sinner showed. "We can all marvel about the tennis and the level that you played at today and throughout this tournament. But we're also amazed by the humility at the moment that you shared with Sasha, where you had your hands on his shoulder. Are you willing to tell us what was said in that moment?" the broadcaster asked. Sinner responded with insight, explaining that he understood the struggles Zverev had faced in his Grand Slam journey. "You know, I think we all know a bit the story and history of Sasha and grand slams. You know, he had already tough, tough moments. As we can see, he was emotional, and he talked up in a negative way. I tried to keep him up because, at the end of the day, we are colleagues," Sinner said. The 22-year-old added that for him, tennis was akin to learning at school, a place of growth and camaraderie. "For me, it feels like always going to school. Just instead of having lessons, we just play tennis. And that’s how it works in my mind," he explained. "I just want the best for every player, to be honest. I told him, keep believing, keep working. Your time is gonna come." Sinner also expressed his belief in Zverev’s immense potential and chances for future success. "He has great chances on number of courts. I know he has lots of chances, and I think no other player would deserve a Grand Slam more than him," Sinner said. "I wish him only the best." In this touching exchange, Sinner not only cemented his place as one of the brightest stars in tennis but also showcased a level of empathy and maturity beyond his years, proving that sport is not only about winning but about lifting each other up...////...
