The Italian beat his Serbian opponent 3-1 sets and reached his 1st major final.

Jannik Sinner, world number 4, defeated world number 1 and 10-time champion, Novak Djokovic, 3-1 sets in the 1st semifinal in the Australian Open today and will play for the title on Sunday as that will be the Italian first Grand Slam final.

Everything started phenomenally for Sinner, and he won the 1st 2 sets in the match, allowing his opponent to win only 3 games in them – 1 game in the 1st set and 2 games in the 2nd set.

Finally, in the 3rd set, things looked competitive as both players failed to break each other, and the set was decided after a tiebreak. Djokovic found a way to win it by 8-6 points and win his 1st set in the ½ final.

However, Jannik showed his best game from the 1st two sets in the 4th set, and 1 break was enough for the Italian to win the set and the match. Nole finished the match without a single break-point opportunity.

Jannik will play in the final against Medvedev or Zverev, which will play in an hour.
