We asked AI to predict the winner of Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Australian Open 2025 Final: Here's what it had to say

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will take on World No. 2 Alexander Zverev in the final of the 2025 Australian Open on Sunday, January 26. The former reached the summit clash with wins over players like Ben Shelton, Alex de Minaur, Holger Rune, Marcos Giron, and others while the latter defeated the likes of Novak Djokovic, Tommy Paul, Ugo Humbert, and Pedro Martinez to secure his spot.

Sinner aims to defend his title in Melbourne, while Zverev is seeking his first-ever Grand Slam victory, having come close twice before at the 2020 US Open and last year’s French Open. As the two prepare to battle it out in the final, we turned to AI to predict the outcome of this highly anticipated clash.

Google's Gemini AI promptly chose Jannik Sinner as the favorite to win, highlighting three key reasons. The first was his impressive consistency, reflected in his 20-match winning streak and his momentum as the World No. 1. The second was his head-to-head record with Alexander Zverev. While Zverev holds a 4-2 advantage, Sinner won their most recent meeting at the 2024 Cincinnati Masters.

The third reason provided by the AI was less convincing, as it cited Sinner's "home court advantage," which doesn’t hold true since he hails from Italy, not Australia.

The duo first faced each other at the 2020 French Open, where Sinner emerged victorious. Zverev then won their next four encounters at Cologne 2 in 2020, the 2021 US Open, the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters, and the 2023 US Open, before the World No. 1 claimed their most recent clash in Cincinnati.

Alexander Zverev advanced to the final of the 2025 Australian Open after Novak Djokovic retired mid-match due to injury in their semifinal clash. Ahead of his match against Jannik Sinner, he shared his thoughts on the Italian, making his feelings clear.

"I mean, look, I think Jannik has been the best player in the world for the past 12 months. There's no doubt about it. Won two Grand Slams. Hasbeen very, very stable in those regards. So definitely one of the best players in the world," the German said during a post-match press conference.

It promises to be a treat for fans, as Jannik Sinner, who faced injury concerns during his match against Ben Shelton, assured during his on-court interview that he is fine and feeling physically alright.

"Just a lot of tension today, slight cramps but also he was suffering today a little bit in his leg. I tried to move him around, trying to stay a little bit more aggressive which helped a lot," he said.

He added:

"These matches can go very very long. 3 sets, 2.5 hours is quite a time. So happy to finish today in 3. As I said, I am happy to be back in the final. I am gonna see what's coming Sunday."
