The German tennis star, Alexander Zverev, could have been lasted from the Australian Open final in Sets, but at least it has a sense of humor about it.
The world No 2 reached the final in Melbourne's park after Novak Djokovic retired injured after the first set in his semifinal clash.
Then Zverev collided with Sinner in the final, the current World Cup that is in an amazing way with 21 consecutive victories.
Sinner also beat Zverev at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati in 2024 in the semifinals, leaving the German scratching his head and wondering what he should do to overcome the Italian.
However, upon his return home, both stars were reserved on the same flight. And Zverev finally won a victory.
Thanks to the reservation system, Zverev sat in front of Sinner and published a blatant photo on Instagram so that his Italian rival knew everything about it.

“Well, at least I'm ahead of him this time,” Zverev published with the emojis of the face laugh.
While Sinner has had the wood in Zverev recently, his face to face is much more uniform.
Zverev has defeated Sinner four times in his seven meetings, including a series of four consecutive victories before the recent outbreak of Sinner's form.
It is a terrifying perspective for his rivals, but a jubilant Jannik Sinner insists that he is not even close to a maximum point after recording his name along with the Titans of Tennis Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the sport record books.
The Victory of 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 of Sinner on Sunday night over Zverev in the first final of the Australian Open with the two best players in the world in six years not only earned Italian A third specialty in 12 Heady months.
The defeat in the straight sets also raised the air of 23 years to the rare -air next to Djokovic and Federer as only the third man in almost 40 years to catch three consecutive crowns of Grand Slam of the hard court.
“He feels incredible,” Sinner said after successfully defending his crown and being fisted by fans after the trophy ceremony in Melbourne Park.
'Obviously, it was a very, very long race to have this again. It is definitely a different sensation safely.

'I know how much work I put in this and, having this twice, it is incredible.
'You have a different type of pressure as a defender champion. You have a different type of expectation because you know you can do it, potentially.
'It was a different race last year. I fought. But this is the reason I went ahead: the crowd. It means a lot to me.
In addition to its two titles of the Australian Open, captured on both sides of raising the US Open trophy for the first time in 2024, Sinner won the ATP final championship of the season and headed the successful Davis Cup defense of Italy.
However, it promises to improve even more in 2025 and beyond.
“Maybe the second service could be a bit more aggressive and try to sneak into the network a little more,” he said.
“Sure, there are some areas where I can improve. I also want to be a better player. I'm not just seeing the result.
“It is important in a year to say” Ok, I have improved as a player “and that is much more important.”
But while now he is in the middle of joining Djokovic as the only man from Rod Laver in 1969 to maintain the four Grand Slam titles simultaneously, Sinner's participation in the next specialty in the France Open in May remains in doubt.
The world number 1 faces a possible prohibition of at least one year when faced with the Court of Arbitration for Sports in Switzerland in April for alleged doping.
The World Doping Authority is challenging a decision last year by the International Tennis Integrity Agency not to suspend Sinner for what the ITIA considered accidental pollution for an anabolic steroid forbidden in March.
That closed doors audience will take place in Lausana from April 16 to 17, launching a cloud on the immediate future of Sinner, and its search for more Grand Slam ankle boots in 2025 and possibly 2026.
“Honesty, having difficulties, especially in difficult times and how I handled them, I know exactly this will help me in the future,” he said.
'But I also want to enjoy this because this has a different feeling, it has a different perspective, this trophy.
'It's hard to talk about the future. But this means a lot to me.
