Australian Open: Sinner Stuns Djokovic To Reach First Grand Slam Final
Rod Laver Arena: Jannik Sinner recorded a dominant win against 10-time champion Novak Djokovic to reach his first Grand Slam final, scuttling Serbian's bid for a record-extending 11th Australian Open in the semifinals on Friday.
The youngest man to reach a final at Melbourne Park since 2008, the 22-year-old Italian registered a stunning 6-1, 6-2, 6-7(6-8), 6-3 triumph at Rod Laver Arena, ending Djokovic's 33-match Melbourne winning streak and handing him his first Australian Open defeat since 2018.
"It was a very, very tough match. I started off really well. For two sets, I felt like he was not feeling that great on court so I just tried to keep pushing. Then in the third set I had match point and I missed the forehand, but this is tennis. I just tried to be ready also for the next set, which I started off really well. And obviously the atmosphere was so great to play here," Sinner said in his on-court interview.
