This victory marks Sinner’s ninth consecutive Grand Slam semi-final, and his third at the Australian Open. His performance reaffirms his position as one of the most dominant players on the circuit.<\/p>\n
Sinner, ranked number two in the world, has demonstrated his superiority over Shelton, adding his ninth victory in ten direct confrontations. The match lasted two hours and 24 minutes.<\/p>\n
In the semifinals, Sinner will face the Serbian Novak Djokovic, who also advanced to this instance.<\/p>\n
Novak Djokovic secured his place in the semifinals due to the withdrawal of his opponent, the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who suffered an injury.<\/p>\n
Musetti, despite having won the first two sets with scores of 6-4 and 6-3, was forced to abandon the match due to a right leg adductor injury.<\/p>\n
The injury occurred at the beginning of the third set, after the second game, forcing Musetti to request medical assistance. Although he tried to continue, he couldn’t and retired with a score of 3-1 in the third set, after a double fault and after one hour and 59 minutes of play.<\/p>\n
Musetti’s injury represents a hard blow for the Italian, who had expressed being playing at a high level before his retirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
