Jannik Sinner underlined why he is the world's best men's player by winning back-to-back Australian Open titles with a merciless victory over Alexander Zverev.

Italian top seed Sinner delivered in the decisive moments to secure a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 win over second seed Zverev.

Despite an ongoing doping case hanging over him, Sinner has been able to block out the noise to claim a third Grand Slam title.

The 23-year-old has dropped just two sets over the past fortnight at Melbourne Park and did not face a single break point against Germany's Zverev.
