Jannik Sinner recently revealed his choice not to make a big celebration after defeating Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinal. In the semifinal, the world No. 4 overcame the ten-time Australian Open winner, giving Djokovic his first Melbourne defeat since 2018. Sinner raised his arms in the air and smiled as he walked up to the net after securing a position in his first Grand Slam final.
However, Sinner celebrated the win in a way that was consistent with how he has celebrated all of his other victories this past week. Sinner then clarified that he recognized there was still work to be done, so he didn’t go overboard.
Sinner expressed his thoughts about it and said: “I don’t know. I feel this kind of emotion that you cannot control. If someone celebrates in one way, you celebrate because this is the emotion that you are feeling now, no? It means so much to me to beat Novak here in Melbourne, but on the other hand, I know that the tournament is not over.”
