World No. 1 Jannik Sinner secured a commanding 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Alex de Minaur to reach the Australian Open semi-finals. The Italian top seed, now just two matches away from defending his maiden Grand Slam crown, remains focused on improving his game.

Sinner, 23, emphasized his determination to keep striving for excellence, warning against complacency despite his dominant form. “At the end of the day, every match starts at 0-0. We are here trying to understand every situation and get better and stronger,” he stated.

Facing Ben Shelton on Friday, Sinner is prepared for the challenge. The American 21st seed is making his second Grand Slam semi-final appearance after a breakout run at the 2023 US Open.

Sinner’s journey over the past year has been remarkable, with his Australian Open title in 2024 followed by a stellar season, including eight titles and a US Open triumph. His win streak at hardcourt Grand Slams now stands at 19 matches, showcasing his dominance on the surface.

Acknowledging the unpredictability of tennis, Sinner highlighted his focus on consistent growth and resilience, aiming to carry his momentum not just in Melbourne but throughout the 2025 season.
