Defending champion Jannik Sinner is eyeing back-to-back Australian Open titles, with Alexander Zverev and his bid for a maiden Grand Slam success standing in his way on Sunday in Melbourne.

It is the first men's singles final at a Slam between the top two ranked players in the world since the 2019 Australian Open, which saw Novak Djokovic defeat Rafael Nadal in straight sets.

These two are the in-form duo in men's tennis at the moment, but off the court there have been distractions.
