The Serbian icon completed a remarkable hat-trick of titles from 2011-13 and 2019-21 and defended his title in 2015-16, underlining his dominance. Jannik Sinner now has the opportunity to etch his name alongside these legends and cement his legacy at the Australian Open.

Only Italian to win multiple Grand Slams

Italy is a rich country in the discipline of tennis. There is no greater pride than bringing glory to your nation on a global platform. Adriano Panatta, a former Italian player had won the French Open back in 1976, Francesca Schiavone emerged victorious at the 2010 French Open and Flavia Pennetta triumphed at the 2015 US Open.

Notably, none of the above Italian Grand Slam champions have won the Australian Open in the past including current number-one seed, Jannik Sinner, who beat Daniil Medvedev in a five-setter epic.
