Earthquake in Melbourne. Ten times winner of the tournament, the Serbian was defeated by Sinner in the semi-final. The ten-time Australian Open winner had not lost a match at the Australian Open since 2018 and had never lost at this stage of the competition. Djokovic was seeking an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title in Melbourne, at age 36. It won’t be this time. At 22, Sinner will play his very first major final on Sunday and will face either world number 3 Daniil Medvedev or number 6 Alexander Zverev, opposite each other later in the day.
This feat is totally deserved for the Italian who, unlike his opponent who was absent for two sets, delivered an almost perfect performance.
