Sinner Aims for Clay, Grass Mastery After AO Victory

Jannik Sinner, the 23-year-old Italian tennis prodigy, has retained his Australian Open title, marking his third consecutive Grand Slam victory on hard courts. Despite his success, Sinner aims to diversify his skills to become a 'complete player' by mastering clay and grass courts, where he has previously reached the semi-finals of the French Open and Wimbledon. He acknowledges the need for improvement on these surfaces to rival peers like Carlos Alcaraz, who has won Slams on all three surfaces. Sinner's current dominance on hard courts is underscored by his recent victory over Alexander Zverev, marking his 37th win in his last 38 matches on this surface. However, his career faces potential disruption due to a doping case, with a hearing scheduled at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, although he remains focused on his game. Sinner's resilience and ambition continue to position him as one of the most promising young talents in tennis.
