Today's Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev live stream in the 2025 Australian Open final could be a classic as the Italian defends his title against a fresh second seed who enjoyed a semi-final retirement. Below we have all the information on how to watch Sinner vs Zverev tennis from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and FREE streams.

Sinner swept aside Ben Shelton in straight sets in his semi-final, dropping just four games after sneaking a first-set tiebreak. Facing the 23-year-old on a hard court is the modern equivalent of playing Pete Sampras on grass or Rafa Nadal on clay – Sinner won both majors on this surface last year and is now just one win away from defending his Australian crown. Yet he was suffering from cramp against Shelton, so how will his body recover by Sunday?

Zverev will contest his third Grand Slam final and must overcome the mental hurdle of last year's French Open showpiece in which he lost to Carlos Alcaraz after leading two sets to one. The 27-year-old has dropped only two sets en route to the final and will be thankful for the extra recovery time after Novak Djokovic retired hurt just a set into their semi-final. The German second seed holds a 4-2 career advantage over Sinner, but the majority of those wins came before the world number one stormed up the rankings in his annus mirabilis in 2024.

The wait is finally over for the day of the men’s singles final here in Melbourne, with Australia waking up to another day’s bright sunshine. After Madison Keys upset Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s final yesterday, can Zverev make lightning strike twice and come out on top in the men’s showpiece?

The players are on court and the Sinner vs Zverev final is underway. Get yourself logged onto the live stream of your choice so you don’t miss a second more of what should be an absolute cracker.
