The Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup was lifted by Madison Keys who defeated the defending champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 in a thrilling battle at the Rod Laver Arena, claiming her first Grand Slam on Saturday.

With the victory, the 29-year-old from United States became the oldest woman to win her first Grand Slam title since Flavia Pennetta, who achieved the feat at 33 during the 2015 U.S. Open. Keys also became the third player in history to win her first Grand Slam after the most appearances (46). Only Flavia Pennetta (49) and Marion Bartoli (47) had more attempts before winning their maiden Slam.

Keys' remarkable journey to the title saw her defeat both the World No. 1 and World No. 2 players in consecutive matches.

On Sunday, as the tennis world pondered the question--Zverev or Sinner?--Jannik Sinner delivered a resounding answer with a repeat victory. The 23-year-old Italian etched his name in history, becoming the youngest man since Jim Courier in 1992-93 to claim back-to-back titles at Melbourne Park.

One did not realise the enormity of this feat. Harmanpreet is basically a defensive midfielder in footballing parlance and to score 200 goals, is truly a great achievement.

This victory not only made Sinner the first Italian to achieve this feat but also marked him as the first player since Rafael Nadal at the French Open (2005-2006) to successfully defend a Grand Slam title.
