Hollywood actress Ana de Armas was present in the final of the 2024 Australian Open between Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner and to many fans’ surprise, she had a bigger role in the event than just being a celebrity spectator sitting in the stands.
The Cuban-Spanish model accompanied tennis legend Jim Courier to present the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup, the prestigious trophy that will be won by the winner of today’s match, in a jam-packed Rod Laver Arena.
The actress flaunted a gorgeous Louis Vuitton outfit that has been noticed by many. She wore Louis Vuitton’s black faux leather circle top, which is worth about $3,600, and their traditional Bouclé Monogram Mini Skirt, which is worth about $3400.
Needless to say, Louis Vuitton makes the trunk where the Australian Open trophy is kept and this was clearly a promotional move on their part.
After the trophy was presented, Ana de Armas watched the match from the stands. Her presence has had mixed reactions from the fans, as many found it very abrupt and random because the celebrity has not shown interest in the sport ever before.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Aussie actor Eric Bana, former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire, world champion boxer Jeff Fenech, former All Blacks star Dan Carter, radio host Jackie O, supermodel Elle Macpherson, and actresses Rachel Griffiths and Deborra-Lee Furness are the other celebrities who are present in the stands to witness the final live.
The Australian Open 2024 final between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev is going to be one for the ages.
The Russian won the first two sets with ease and it had started to seem like he was going to win the final easily to lift his second Grand Slam trophy.
However, Jannik Sinner, who is playing the first Grand Slam final of his career, has made a sensational comeback from behind and forced a fifth set by winning the third and fourth sets.
Although Medvedev has a 6-3 lead over Sinner in head-to-head matches, it is the Italian who has won their last three encounters, and two of them were finals.
He defeated the Russian in the China Open and the Vienna Open (back-to-back). If the World No. 3 is unable to win the fifth set of the ongoing match, it will be his third consecutive defeat to the youngster in final matches.
