Jannik Sinner was in action on Wednesday on Rod Laver Arena, beating Alex De Minaur to reach the last four in Melbourne.

The world No. 1 is now on the rise ahead of his semi-final against Ben Shelton on Friday, where he will be the favorite.

And at 23 years and 159 days, Sinner became the youngest player to reach the Australian Open semi-finals two years running since a certain Rafael Nadal.

In 2009, at the age of 22, the Majorcan reached this stage of the competition for the second year running, after losing his first semi-final to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2008.

He went on to beat Fernando Verdasco and then Roger Federer to win his first Australian Open.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
