Sinner races into quarters
The Citizen
|January 27, 2026
Two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner (above) sealed his place in the Australian Open quarterfinals with a straight-sets dismissal of fellow Italian Luciano Darderi in the Melbourne heat yesterday.
-
Sinner raced to a 6-1, 6-3, 7-6 (7/2) victory and faces United States eighth seed Ben Shelton for a place in the semifinals.
The world No 2 is bidding to win the Melbourne crown for a third time in a row, something only Novak Djokovic has done in the Open era (since 1968).
Djokovic and Sinner are on course for a blockbuster last-four showdown.
"It was very difficult, we are good friends off the court," Sinner said of the hard-hitting Darderi, who put up some late resistance.
