The match between Jannik Sinner and Alex de Minaur was eagerly awaited by the Australians.
For his first quarter-final in Melbourne, de Minaur did not exist against the Italian.
Very quickly broken in each set, the Australian was overwhelmed and did not have time to have any hopes.
Sinner won 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in 1 hour 50 minutes of play. He will meet Ben Shelton in the semi-final, winner of Lorenzo Sonego earlier in the day.
The Italian had a word in a post-match interview about his opponent of the day: “He and I know each other well now.
We played each other several times last year. We try to understand each other’s game.
-These matches can go quickly, there can be twists and turns. But today I am happy with my performance. »
Asked about the match between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, he replied: “I watched the match. I knew I could sleep long and wake up late.
It was an incredible match, it’s hard to see them face each other in the quarter-finals.
I think this rivalry between the two is the best rivalry we have in tennis currently. »
