Jannik Sinner has secured his spot in the Australian Open final with a commanding performance. The Italian defeated American Ben Shelton in straight sets, 7-6(2), 6-2, 6-2, in a match that lasted two hours and 36 minutes. After an intense first set, where he saved two set points before dominating the tie-break, Sinner took full control of the match, capitalizing on Shelton’s physical and mental decline.
On Sunday, Sinner will compete for the Melbourne title against Alexander Zverev, who reached the final following Novak Djokovic’s retirement during the first set of their semifinal clash.
"It’s an incredible feeling to be back in the Australian Open final," Sinner said after the match. "I started the match feeling a bit tense, but I’m happy with how I managed my emotions and maintained control. Now, I’m ready to give everything in the final. The season is long, but this is definitely the best way to kick it off."
