Djokovic arrived in Australia hoping to secure another Australian Open trophy. The Serbian was the favorite for a good reason, but it didn't work out. He was beaten by Jannik Sinner in the semi-final.

It was a disappointing result for Djokovic as well as shocking because he failed to find his tennis in all but one set. That's concerning for a player who has high ambitions this year and hopes to win many events.

As he pointed out after the match, he committed to give it his all this year because we have the Olympics on top of just the regular tennis schedule.

Towards that end, Djokovic even hinted at a few surprising decisions he would make, but nobody knows what they might be, but most possibly, the Serbian will elect to skip some tournaments.

Jannik Sinner Becomes First Italian Ever To Win Australian Open

Italy has a long history in tennis, but it doesn't have a storied history in tennis as Jannik Sinner became the first Italian to ever win the Australian Open.

Tennis has been a popular sport in Italy for a very long time, and the country has given the sport many great players. It didn't give it too many elite players because the list of players who have won a Grand Slam is not that long.

As of Sunday, January 28th, 2024, it's richer by one name, as Jannik Sinner bested Daniil Medvedev to lift his maiden Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open.

Funnily enough, he became the first Italian to win the Australian Open.
