The night did not end when Sinner lifted the trophy at the Rod Laver Arena. After talking to the media around the world, the champion met with his loved ones.

Sinner said he will leave Australia this Monday night. The 23 -year -old Italian gets incredible memories of Melbourne, especially for the support received.

“The public has been incredible since the beginning of the tournament, sincerely,” he said. “Also the previous week, I had a lot of support. That is perhaps what most means for me. ”
