Jannik Sinner's triumph at the Australian Open tennis in Melbourne monopolized the front pages of newspapers, not just sports newspapers, both in Italy and abroad.
"Sinner disguises himself as Nadal to overcome Medvedev and be crowned champion", writes "Marca" in Spain, referring to the final won by the Spaniard by coming from two sets back against the Russian just like what happened to Jannik.
"Apotheosis", headlines L'Equipe, adding: "Again and again. Sinner wins his first Grand Slam. The Italian's promises at the end of 2023 have been kept, in great style. At the end of a crazy final of the Australian Open, Sinner he tamed Medvedev, after an amazing comeback. He is among the greats."
And in France general newspapers such as Le Figaro also talk about it: "Following in the footsteps of his father, who was a chef, Jannik Sinner seems to have found the right recipes in the fields to permanently invite himself to the king's table".
The South Tyrolean - adds Le Figaro also citing Jannik's 2023 super final, with the victory of the Davis Cup - has made "the history of his country".
For the Spanish generalist El Mundo "Sinner wins in Australia and anticipates a great rivalry with Alcaraz".
