Like clockwork: Sinner is in the semi-finals in Melbourne

Just a few hours after the Sextner in the round of 58 against the Slovenian Aljaz Bedene (ATP XNUMX) in two sets , he faced Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the round of 8. Sinner also defeated number 42 in the world rankings in two sets – 7:6(10), 6:4. The 19-year-old thus made it to the semi-finals of the ATP tournament, which was endowed with $382.575 in prize money. There he will face Karen Khachanov (ATP 20) on Saturday night (CET). The Russian defeated the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp (ATP 159) in three sets 6:7, 7:5, 6:3. For Sinner it is the fourth semi-final at an ATP 4 tournament. Only in Sofia, where he subsequently won the tournament, did he make it into the final. Sinner shows strong nerves and endurance in the quarterfinals In the first round, both Sinner (ATP 36) and Kecmanovic took their opponent's serve once each. So the tiebreak had to decide who won the set. This dragged on. In the end, Sinner prevailed 12:10 after fending off three set points. After Sinner took the service from his opponent at the beginning of the second set and took the lead 2-1, he then immediately conceded the re-break to make it 2-2. But Sinner didn't let this upset him and subsequently took over the service from the 21-year-old Serb once again. The Pusterer had to fend off a break ball in his last service game and then served to win the match after 1:58 hours of play. Also in doubles In addition to the singles semifinals, Sinner will also play in the doubles quarterfinals. The South Tyrolean and the Pole Hubert Hurkacz will meet the Australians Matthew Eden/John-Patrick Smith on the night from Friday to Saturday (CET). Bad luck for Sinner at the Australian Open At the same time, the first round of the Australian Open (which begins on Monday night) was drawn. At the start, Sinner is faced with a real caliber. He will face Canadian Denis Shapovalov. Andreas Seppi also has a difficult match ahead of him. The Kalterer has to deal with Pablo Cuevas from Uruguay ( SportNews berichtete ).
