Alcaraz, Swiatek congratulate Sinner on Australian Open title

Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek and Rod Laver were among the first stars who congratulated Jannik Sinner on winning the Australian Open title.

Sinner rallied from two sets down on Sunday to defeat Daniil Medvedev, becoming just the second player in the Open Era to accomplish the feat in an Australian Open championship match.

“I am so happy for you Jannik!” Alcaraz tweeted. “You deserve it more than anyone! 🏆 Enjoy the moment my friend! 😀”

Italian tennis is in good hands. Jannik Sinner has beaten the best to achieve his first major. With his all-round game and youth, he is bound for many more. Bad luck to Daniil, a heart-breaking loss after so much hard work this past fortnight. Thank you for the great tennis. 🚀
