Jannik Sinner stepped into the sun as a Grand Slam champion for the first time Monday.
The Italian star enjoyed a photoshoot with the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.
Entering the fortnight, Sinner had made one major semi-final and never advanced past the quarter-finals at a hard-court Slam. But the 22-year-old showed tremendous form Down Under, defeating Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev in back-to-back matches to lift the trophy.
Sinner remains No. 4 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, but is now just 945 points from World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and 455 points behind World No. 3 Medvedev.
