Sinner reaches the Australian Open final after dominating Shelton, Zverev eliminates Djokovic.
Jannik Sinner Advances to Australian Open Final After Defeating Ben Shelton
Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner, currently ranked world number one, easily overcame American Ben Shelton in the semifinals of the Australian Open, winning the match in straight sets (7-6 (6-2), 6-2, 6-2). Despite a tightly contested start where he had to save two set points in the first set, Sinner showcased remarkable mental strength, particularly during the tiebreaker, before gaining full control of the match.
Following this victory, Sinner qualifies for the final, where he will face German Alexander Zverev (No. 2). Zverev advanced to the final after benefiting from Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal due to a muscle tear, thus making his way to the championship match without having to compete through an entire match.
The upcoming clash between Sinner and Zverev promises to be a spectacular showdown, pitting the defending champion, Sinner—who aims to retain his title—against a determined Zverev, eager to claim his first Grand Slam title.
