Sinner, on the other hand, is in red-hot form, arriving unbeaten in the tournament and carrying a strong head-to-head edge in recent meetings. His goal is to become one of the few players to complete an Australian Open three-peat.
This semi-final is seen as a classic experience vs youth battle and could decide the direction of men’s tennis in the coming years.
