John McEnroe who often gets criticised for his gaffes when it comes to commentary such as saying Nicolas Jarry was unknown once again courted criticism on Thursday at the Australian Open.

Sinner was the most impressive hard-court player in 2024, losing three times on the surface last season to secure the Australian Open and US Open, either side of friendly rival Carlos Alcaraz claiming the French Open and successfully defending his Wimbledon title.

Top-ranked Sinner has a first-round match against Nicolas Jarry and also has Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Medvedev in his quarter of the draw. Fritz would open against fellow American Jenson Brooksby. Djokovic and No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz could meet in the quarter-finals, with a possible semi-final against No. 2 Alexander Zverev.

With his victory in three sets 7-6 7-6 6-1 over the Chilean tennis player, the Italian got his 15th consecutive victory on hard courts in the Grand Slam tournaments. And Jannim is only the fourth player since 2000 to achieve this feat. A goal that is worth even more, if we consider the other three names that are part of this exclusive club.
