Jannik Sinner will have to go past Ben Shelton to move one more step closer to his second Australian Open trophy on the trot. The Italian and the American youngsters will meet in the semifinals, scheduled on Friday (January 24).

There was an unknown factor about Jannik Sinner's condition after the problems he had during the match against Holger Rune at the 2025 Australian Open. The world No.1 swept away any doubts by demolishing Alex de Minaur in the last quarterfinal and reached the semifinals of the Happy Slam, where he will try to defend the title he won last year.

Jannik Sinner continued his quest for consecutive Australian Open titles with a clinical deconstruction of Alex De Minaur in the last of the men’s singles quarter-finals.

Earlier in the day, Iga Swiatek cruised past Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in their Women’s Singles quarter-final while Madison Keys secured a surprising 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elina Svitolina to set up a meeting with Swiatek tomorrow.

Alex de Minaur has confirmed that he does not have the necessary weapons to put Jannik Sinner in trouble. The Australian ace has always been defeated by the Italian on the professional tour and the quarterfinal of the 2025 Australian Open was no exception.
