After a very exciting match and more than two hours of intense fighting, the American Madison Keys managed to defeat the current world number one, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, this Saturday and, consequently, score the Australian Open at the age of 29, her first Grand Slam. There are only a few hours left to conclude the first of the four most important tournaments of the year and to also know the final outcome in the men’s team.
Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are competing for the title today, the first of them trying to repeat the previous year’s triumph and the second trying to finally open his ranking in the Grand Slams. Whether the victory falls on the side of the transalpine or for the first time the German, none of them will favor the interests of the Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. If the Italian wins, he will come dangerously close, with three trophies of this type, to the four that our player owns; and in the event that it is Zverev who lifts him up, he will gain greater peace of mind and confidence to face the next big events and the Spanish tennis player will move away from the second position in the world. This fact would also propose a new contender in the fight for number one in the ATP ranking.
