Jannik Sinner caused a major upset, beatingNovak Djokovic to reach the Australian Open men’s final, ending the 10-time champion’s career unbeaten streak in semifinals at Melbourne Park.

The 22-year-old Italian broke Djokovic’s serve twice in each of the first two sets but missed a match point in the third set of a 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3 victory that earned him a place in a Grand Slam final for the first time.

He’ll play either third-seeded Daniil Medvedev or No. 6 Alexander Zverev for the championship on Sunday.

Djokovic’s bid for a record-extending 11th Australian and 25th major title overall will have to wait.

He hadn’t lost a match at Melbourne Park since 2018 and was on a 33-match winning streak at the season’s first major. Every previous time he’d won a quarterfinal in Australia, Djokovic had gone on to win the hardcourt title.

On this occasion, however, despite claiming the third set tie break, he had no answer to an opponent who has now won three of their last four meetings.

Sinner was asked in his on court post-match interview what the secret of his success was to toppling the world’s best player and although he refused to give a full tactical debrief, he hinted that moving his opponent around the court as much as possible is imperative.

Good

Djokovic should go and rest and leave other young tennis athletes to compete for grand slam

His generation: Federer is gone, Nadal almost gone

He should go and rest

Don't write Djokovic off.

He still has like 5 slams in him.
Hmmmnnnn...... 5 slams ?
I very much doubt it ,same thing about Sampras when Federer came on board, Federer himself had to face reality with Djokovic as his biggest nemesis, Nadal (clay Court master) as well had to give in.
Maybe 2 more slams because tennis is a youthful sport.Sinner has found a way to play him,zverev,alcaraz, Medvedev will only get better.
I'm giving him two because he is not as injury prone as any of the above tennis legends.
Life is time.

Novak why. As a big fan of Novak no problem as long as the trophy won't go to that Spaniard whose major distraction is always stroking his hair before a serve. Yes I mean nadal.

He might win some more grand slams but 5? Highly doubt that. Novak will be 37 in May. As fit as he is,age will start to catch up sometime. With the likes of Zverev,Sinner, Medvedev,Hurkacz,Alcaraz and co around,it will be very difficult. We still have Berettini who has been having injury issues. It will be very difficult for Novak to just keep on going with quality young players popping up.

Your argument was very compelling but at the bolded , I doubt it.

Djokovic could evolve and vary his style of play.

We shall see what happens though

You dont like him because those two you mentioned came before him and have lot of fans.

Their fans do not want to "accept" Djokovic.

But figures don't lie. Djokovic is supreme, a genius and way above those two.

Hate him or like him, he has cemented his legendary as the best
