Jannik Sinner's run at the Australian Open continues. The Italian champion defeated Ben Shelton in three sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-4) to reach the semifinals of the tournament, where he will face Novak Djokovic , who advanced in the other quarterfinal after Lorenzo Musetti withdrew due to injury.

"It's tough to play against Ben Shelton. He has a great serve and is improving year after year," Sinner said after the match. "I struggled at the beginning of the tournament, but winning gives me confidence. I feel physically stronger now compared to last Friday," he added. And on the match against Djokovic, whom he will face in a Grand Slam semifinal for the fifth time: "This is one of those moments you train for. To beat him, you have to be at your best. We're lucky to have Novak still at this level, at his age. Let's hope it's a great battle, and we'll see..."
