Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur: How world number one dashed local hopes

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner showcased dominance in a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Alex de Minaur in the Australian Open quarter-finals, taking just 108 minutes to secure his spot in the semi-finals.

Sinner, showing no signs of recent illness, overwhelmed De Minaur with relentless power, marking his 10th consecutive win against the Australian.

Sinner dismantled De Minaur’s defense, exploiting his weak serve, and left the home crowd stunned.

Despite De Minaur’s attempts to play aggressively, Sinner’s precision and control were unmatched, breaking the Australian multiple times to seal the match.

Sinner is now the first Italian to reach multiple semi-finals at Melbourne Park. He will face Ben Shelton, the lowest-ranked semi-finalist, as he aims to defend his Australian Open crown.
