Australian Open 2024: Jannik Sinner stuns Novak Djokovic to book a spot in his first Grand Slam final

Jannik Sinner has stunned Novak Djokovic to reach the Australian Open men’s final, his first Grand Slam final and also ended the 10-time champion’s career unbeaten streak in semifinals at Melbourne Park.

Sinner defeated Djokovic 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 in the semfinals of the Australian Open.

He hadn’t lost a match at Melbourne Park since 2018 and was on a 33-match winning streak at the season’s first major. Every previous time he’d won a quarterfinal in Australia, Djokovic had gone on to win the hardcourt title.

Sinner is in red-hot form – he has won 19 of his last 20 matches and clinched two ATP titles and the Davis Cup since October – and he had also defeated Djokovic twice in three meetings over 12 days at the back end of last year.

Sinner beat Djokovic in a three-set epic in their group-stage match at the ATP season-ender, but Djokovic got his revenge in the final. When they met in the Davis Cup the week after, Sinner prevailed in extraordinary fashion, saving two match points and making Djokovic unusually buckle under pressure.

Sinner will play either third-seeded Daniil Medvedev or No. 6 Alexander Zverev for the championship on Sunday.
