Jannik Sinner secured his spot in the third round of the Australian Open 2025 by defeating Tristan Schoolkate with a final score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, and 6-3 in a match that lasted almost three hours and started with a surprise. Despite the strong start by the local player, ranked 173rd in the world, the reigning champion of Melbourne woke up by raising his level of play and intensity to take control of the match.

The difference in rankings was not reflected in a roaring Rod Laver Arena rooting for its local player, who, despite being ranked 173rd in the world, showed why he made it to the second round of the Australian Open 2025. The equality in the first set was noticeable after a couple of games, but it seemed that Jannik would take control in a potential tiebreak to decide the set. Against all odds, Schoolkate stepped up, confident in his tennis, to surprise Sinner. The Australian secured the first break of the match, necessary to leave his opponent no room to maneuver and claim the first set of the match.

The world number one brought the match back on track in the second set, improving in statistics and his on-court feelings. The Australian’s strong serving was not enough to stand against a motivated Sinner who leveled the match against his opponent. After a few minutes of initial doubts, Jannik decisively took the lead, pulling away on the scoreboard.

The crowd cheered for the Australian, who also looked to his box for encouragement not to fade in the fight. Things stopped working for Schoolkate, who suffered another nearly decisive blow. Confident from the baseline, the Italian confirmed his superiority by minimizing the unforced errors that caused him trouble at the start of the match. His next opponent will be Marcos Giron.
