Even in the third Grand Slam final, Alexander Zverev is not enough for the desired triumph. The German tennis star has to give up the Italian Jannik Sinner.
Unpleasant scene after the final of the Australian Open. When Alexander Zverev wants to keep a thank -you speech after his final bankruptcy against Jannik Sinner (3: 6, 6: 7 (4: 7), 3: 6), he is repeatedly interrupted by interjections. Apparently of a woman, as T-online reporter Christoph Cöln reports.
What the demonstrator is doing is not entirely clear at first. But it was probably about the Australian police. In the end, Zverev did not let himself be put down and was able to continue his moving speech, in which he thanked his coaching team and the Australian fans, among other things.
Zverev had missed the crowning glory at the Australian Open in the final showdown and must now continue to wait for his first Grand Slam title. After the US Open 2020 and the French Open in the previous year, the Hamburger also conceded a defeat in Melbourne in the last step towards the Grand Slam tournament victory. In the history of profit tennis, only five players had lost their first three Grand Slam finals in front of him.
In a victory against Sinner, Zverev would have chosen the first German Grand Slam tournament winner for men for 29 years. At that time, Boris Becker had triumphed in Melbourne. In addition to Becker from Germany, Steffi Graf, Michael Stich and Angelique Kerber were also able to celebrate Grand Slam titles in the professional era.
