Jannik Sinner poses with his Australian Open trophy after history-making win – and you’ll NEVER believe how much his cardigan costs

Jannik Sinner collected $3.15 million when he won the Australian Open title on Sunday night – and judging by what he wore to the winner’s traditional photo shoot, he’ll spend it on high fashion.

The 22-year-old posed for the cameras on Monday with the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup at Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, just a short walk from Rod Laver Arena.

While women’s champion Aryna Sabalenka went for a striking all-white outfit for her photo shoot on Sunday, Sinner appeared more casually dressed in a white T-shirt, vest, blue trousers and Nike sneakers – but looks can be deceiving.

His top is actually a wool cardigan from Gucci that retails for a whopping $3,900 at designer clothing store Farfetch.

But appearances are deceiving, because he was wearing a very expensive piece of clothing

The newly crowned Grand Slam champion basked in his victory and said his journey to the top had been ‘pretty quick’.

But the rapid pace of his progress over the past 12 months, including helping his country win the Davis Cup over Australia last year and beating Novak Djokovic on his way to his first grand slam crown, will only increase.

He said he liked to “dance in the pressure storm,” well aware that becoming a great champion meant becoming the hunted, and he knew he “had to keep working” if he wanted to climb the mountain again.

“As I sit here now with this trophy and look at it, it is one of the biggest trophies we have in our sport, so I am very happy to share it with my team today,” he said after becoming the first Italian had become. man who has won a grand slam since Adriano Panatta lifted the French Open trophy in 1976.

‘But on the other hand, I also know that I have to continue working for other opportunities.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Sinner “wrote a new page in history” when he won a classic five-setter, beating Daniil Medvedev in the final

Sinner said he knows he has to keep improving because now that he has won his first Grand Slam, he is no longer the hunter, but the hunted.

“I’m grateful to have this here, but I know I have to work even harder because the opponents will find the way to beat me and I have to be prepared.

‘There is always pressure, but that pressure is a good thing. You have to take it in a good way. It’s a privilege, isn’t it? Because there aren’t that many players who have this kind of pressure, but on the other hand, when you have pressure it’s always: okay, he believes I can really do it.

‘So yes, I like to dance in the pressure storm. I don’t know how to tell it. Like me personally, I like it because I usually get my best tennis there. I am also very relaxed on this occasion, because I always try to enjoy myself on the field.’

Sinner’s victory was praised by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who stated that “today he has written a new page in history that fills us with pride.” It is an achievement worthy of a true champion.’

When asked if he even knew at age 14 that he had the talent to accomplish great things, Sinner said it was hard to answer, but he knew there was something special happening when he hit the ball.

“It’s magic, you know,” he said.

“It’s hard to understand when someone says, ‘Look, you’re special or you’re a good player,’ because you only know yourself.

‘I am very happy to be in this position now. Let’s see what will happen in the future.’
