Sinner beats Shelton, secures place in AO final

Sinner beats Shelton, secures place in AO final

Melbourne, Jan 24 (UNI) Jannik Sinner, the defending Australian Open men’s singles champion, secured his place in the final with a commanding straight-sets victory over American Ben Shelton here on Friday night.
The top seed triumphed 7-6(2), 6-2, 6-2 in their semifinal at Rod Laver Arena, extending his impressive run at Melbourne Park.
Sinner, who claimed his second Grand Slam title at last year’s Australian Open, needed 2 hours and 36 minutes to dismiss Shelton and improve his Grand Slam semifinal record to 3-2.
The Italian will face Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final after the German advanced earlier in the day. Zverev took advantage of a first-set injury withdrawal by Novak Djokovic, leading 7-6(5) when the Serbian retired.
Zverev now heads into the final with a 4-2 head-to-head advantage over Sinner, including a 2-1 edge in Grand Slam meetings. The 26-year-old will be aiming for his first Grand Slam title.
The showdown between Sinner and Zverev promises to be an exciting culmination to this year’s Australian Open men’s singles competition.
