MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) (ITALPRESS) – Jannik Sinner in the semifinals at the Australian Open, the first Slam of the season with a record $96.5 million Australian dollar prize pool underway on the concrete courts of Melbourne Park. The world No. 1, putting on an excellent display of condition after an illness suffered in the eighth round, swept home favorite Alex De Minaur, the eighth seed, in three sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in an hour and 50 minutes of play. “I am very satisfied with my performance, I tried to rest as much as possible, relax and be ready. This morning I woke up well, gained confidence throughout the day and the result was excellent. I have an experienced team, they know how to handle me, their contribution is crucial,” the words of the South Tyrolean after the match. Sinner will play for access to the final against the U.S. Ben Shelton, who in the quarters beat Lorenzo Sonego from Piedmont in four sets with the score of 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (4). So no all-Italian derby in the semifinals, it will be Shelton who will contend for Sinner’s access to the final.
