The Demon's sick of Sinner making life hell
Daily Express
|January 23, 2025
DE MINAUR CRUSHED ONCE MORE BY FIT-AGAIN JANNIK
JANNIK SINNER destroyed 'The Demon' to ensure Australia's wait for a male singles winner in their own Grand Slam will hit 50 years of hurt.
Mark Edmondson, a window cleaner ranked 212th in the world, is the most recent home male champion here, back in 1976.
But yesterday Sinner wiped the floor with Australian No.1 Alex de Minaur 6-3 6-2 6-1 in an embarrassingly one-sided quarter-final to end home hopes in the singles.
Ash Barty won the women's singles here in 2022 and promptly retired - but Australia retains the unwanted record of the longest wait for a native son winning their own Grand Slam.
Andy Murray broke Great Britain's 77-year wait in 2013 while Yannick Noah (1983) and Andy Roddick (2003) were home winners in France and the USA respectively.
