Sinner-Shelton at the Australian Open live score: 5-6, second break by Ben; whoever passes finds Zverev in the final

Sinner-Shelton 3-3, very tough game: Ben cancels two break points

Shelton begins the new innings with a great serve and volley, Sinner responds with a splendid extension on the next first serve; Ben wins the next exchange by coming down to the net, and signs the first ace for 40-15. Jannik extends the exchange to shorten the score, and finds the equalizer with a splendid forehand return. At the advantage, with Ben ahead, the tape helps the Italian who then also gets a break point after another long exchange. Shelton cancels it with a great curveball, but has to concede on a splendid counter-sweep from Sinner: he cancels it after another very tough exchange on doubles, and with a new short ball. He then takes the lead with a deep forehand and closes the score in a very tough game. 3-3.
