The Italian Jannik Sinner will play this Friday, at 09:30 Spanish peninsular time, the second semi-final of the Australian Open, against the American Ben Shelton. Before, 4:30 am, it was Serbian’s turn Novak Djokovic and the german Alexander Zverev.
The sinner overcomes physical discomfort, on the scene due to the tremors he suffered on the track while facing the Dane Holger Runein the round of 16 and regained all his power in the quarterfinals, a round in which he destroyed the Australian. Alex de Minaur, to the dismay of the local crowd.
They have won 19 games in a row, 33 of the last 34. In the competition they have no mercy on their rivals, whom they overwhelm as soon as they see the option. He doesn’t slow down.
He does it with an impression of great ease, with a calmness that he also sends to the locker room. No statement or gesture is out of place, always restrained. Control over success and failure, as well as happiness and problems. Until April there is no view on Court of Arbitration for Sports (TAD) about the case of two positive anti-doping tests at the 2024 Indian Wells tournament.
“The reception from my colleagues was mostly good after learning about the issue. Now I know very well who will come and who won’t,” said Sinner.
He has a gesture in the locker room, captured by cameras following the activity of tennis players in their preparation areas before and after matches, showing his mark as world number one and champion.
Always in his place, he came to say hello Ben Shelton for their qualification for the semi-finals. At a short distance, also pedaling on a stationary bicycle, the victim of the American, the Italian Lorenzo Sonego, with whom he shared many emotions in the Davis Cup, is also a doubles partner.
Sportsmanship to Shelton, comfort to his countrymen. Without fuss, naturally. Moderately aware that these are still hot moments, of slowing down. And he even finished first in the semifinal with Alex de Minaur. Later he became a ‘killer’ as soon as the ball started moving and he had to find success.
