Australian Open: Sinner sets up Zverev final after trouncing Shelton
Al JazeeraDefending champion Jannik Sinner continued his sizzling Australian Open run with a 7-6 6-2 6-2 victory over American 21st seed Ben Shelton to reach a second straight final at Melbourne Park and book a meeting with Alexander Zverev. Sinner’s victory made the 23-year-old the youngest man to make multiple finals at the Australian Open since Jim Courier in 1992-93 and kept alive his dream of becoming the first Italian to lift three Grand Slam singles trophies. “Sundays are special days in tournaments and I’m hoping I can enjoy it.” Sinner entered the match on Rod Laver Arena having won four of his five meetings with left-hander Shelton but found himself in trouble early on as a thunderous forehand winner handed the American a break, which he followed up with a tight hold. Playing three sets for two and a half hours is a long time, so I’m happy to finish it in three, I’m happy to be back in the final again.” Second seed Zverev reached his first Australian Open final and third at the majors after 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic retired due to a left thigh injury after losing the opening set 7-6.
