2025 Australian Open - Quarterfinals - [1] Jannik Sinner vs [8] Alex de Minaur

[Drighiz]

LOL. Sick dropper.

 

[Drighiz]

ADM has really upped the intensity in the past few rallies, he's hitting with violence and intent now. Sinner might need to get out of second gear.

 

[Hitman]

Clinical serving by Sinner. The dude is hitting the spots beautifully right now.

 

[jimmy0slams]

BORING!!!!

 

[Hitman]

Have give credit to ADM, he has a lot of fight in him, even though against Sinner, he is clearly overmatched.

 

[Hitman]

That should be it...

 

[Drighiz]

A smash from the baseline from Sinner to go two breaks up in the second!

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Sinner is playing at a very high level, seems like the injury concerns are gone

 

[weakera]

What would the score be if Sinner wasn't battling pneumonia?

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner has upped his game this set.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner is firing those forehands bigger than when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan.

 

[rigged]

What would the score be if Sinner wasn't battling pneumonia?

6-3 6-1 De Minaur. Injured players are better in 2020s than ever before.

 

[NaDjoFed]

Too much difference between the two. Would be interesting to see average top spin.

 

[Drighiz]

ADM looking beaten now. Match is virtually over.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner is sending a very big message to Djokovic and Zverev here. Anyone who was giving this AO prematurely to Djokovic because he beat Alcaraz better take a look, the actual favorite for the title is very much alive and wrecking house right now.

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner should only get one serve vs Alex

Sinner is winning 69% of his 2nd serves this match.

Alex is winning 64% is his first serve this match

 

[Hitman]

Sinner is one set away now.

 

[objection_]

Too much difference between the two. Would be interesting to see average top spin.

Iirc on the forehand sinners around 2800, de minaur at 1800

 

[Pheasant]

de Minaur isn’t even playing all that badly. He’s just so badly outgunned on nearly every rally.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Snner is a relentless machine. What a player!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

de Minaur isn’t even playing all that badly. He’s just so badly outgunned on nearly every rally.

Sinner is different level. Insane player! He’s huge favourite to defend his title now.

 

[Hitman]

This has turned into a massacre.

Break to start the third. ADM is struggling to get games right now.

 

[NaDjoFed]

Sinner breaks, again

 

[Jonesy]

If Sinner wasn't batling against death the score would be a lot more one sided. Minaur technique is extremely limited for a top player, but he has all the speed in the world to make up for that.

 

[Hitman]

This is like a back alley gang fight, but ADM forgot to bring his gang.

 

[Pheasant]

Wow!!! Sinner has heated up. That first set of Jannik’s was simply him trying to warm up. He’s dialed in right now. This is incredible.

 

[RF-18]

Painful beating infront of your home crowd. It must sting, but Sinner is simply too good for him at this level.

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

This is boring. But that boring Sinner guy is pretty good at slaughtering that boring Australian guy. Very nice point construction.

 

[Hitman]

4-0

Ouch...

 

[jm1972]

This guy is a bigger faker than Djokovic. Disgusting.

 

[Pheasant]

Man, Sinner holds at love again. What is that, 5 games held at love now?

 

[iriraz]

Painful beating infront of your home crowd. It must sting, but Sinner is simply too good for him at this level.

Reminds me so much of Federer-Hewitt 2010.You always hope the Aussie will give the crowd something to cheer for but the winner of the match is not really in doubt.

 

[Drighiz]

At this point the only question is when will Sinner get a decent game? I think Zverev could put up a better fight?

 

[Pheasant]

Whoa. Can Minaur hold here? What’s this world coming to?

 

[The_Order]

Lmfao at this clown...

Getting a similar treatment to what Djok gave him a couple years ago...

Yet this time he's seeded 8th... cesspool.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

No more of this matchup please.

 

[gameovais]

This is a massacre and not surprising because De Minaur despite his improved game is still weaponless against the elite. He has been unable to even make this remotely physical. De Minaur is another version of Ferrer, very good against everyone except the elite.

How anyone can enjoy this I don't know. Surely even Sinner fans would want some competition?

 

[Mike Sams]

Alex De Minaur being in the QF of a grand slam tells you everything about the state of the tour today. Outside of Sinner, there's nobody making any progress nor showing any consistency on hardcourts.

 

[Deleted member 821161]

If Sinner wasn't batling against death the score would be a lot more one sided. Minaur technique is extremely limited for a top player, but he has all the speed in the world to make up for that.

I wonder if one cause the other.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Looking like Sinner's tournament to lose now.

 

[Hitman]

No......

5-1

Ferrer beat Nadal twice in hardcourt majors.
Alex never done anything.

Shelton should be more fun

 

[Hitman]

This has been brutal

0-30

 

[roysid]

Sinner takes close to half the steps that deminaur takes to cover the court. So that speed of demon doesnt mean much

 

[Drighiz]

You're joking

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner is now hitting lines at will

 

[vokazu]

Just finish this off please, I can't stand seeing Hewitt's face anymore lol.



Edit: yay, no more Hewitt's face in SF and F.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner wins.

ADM wins only six games.....

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I think 6-2 6-1 6-3

Guys I got the scoreline right, just not in the right set order.
