In a commanding performance, defending champion Jannik Sinner eliminated eighth seed Alex de Minaur with a decisive 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 victory at the Australian Open semifinals. This defeat marks the end of De Minaur's hopes of breaking a 49-year drought for Australian men's Grand Slam champions since Mark Edmondson in 1976. Sinner, looking to add to his Grand Slam titles after his US Open win, now faces American Ben Shelton in the semifinals, showcasing his strong form despite previous illness.
I feel like today I was feeling everything. When you break so early in each set, it's a bit easier. But he's a tough competitor, an amazing player.
De Minaur had a mountain to climb from the start, with the 25-year-old needing a first victory over Sinner in their 10th meeting.
