Game on!
Italy's rising star Jannik Sinner is on fire! The defending champion cruised into the Australian Open final with a straight-sets victory over American sensation Ben Shelton, winning 7-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Friday.
At just 23, Sinner becomes the youngest man to reach back-to-back finals at Melbourne Park since the legendary Jim Courier did it in '92 and '93. And guess what? He's eyeing a historic third Grand Slam title for Italy!
\"I'm happy to be back in the final again,\" said Sinner, who battled through some tough cramps in the third set. \"Sundays are special days in tournaments, and I'm hoping I can enjoy it.\"
Next up, Sinner will face Germany's Alexander Zverev for the championship title. It's set to be an epic showdown between two of tennis's brightest young talents. Don't miss it!
