2025 Australian Open - Semifinals - [1] Jannik Sinner vs [21] Ben Shelton

[jarko111]

Unless Shelton wins this match I’m completely disinterested in this event, now.
Sinner vs Zverev? Maybe as background noise, I guess.

What a lopsided bloodbath this will be.
One of the most uninteresting SF in Melbourne history.

This match is the epitomy of all that is wrong with tennis.

Refuse to watch this farce!

No

lfg this one should at least last longer than the first semi lol

 

[Hitman]

I think Sinner will be locked in, he knows Zverev is super fresh for the final. Shelton will need to come out hammering big shots if he wants to stand a chance.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner knows what he needs to do. He can smell another title. I expect him to be ruthless again.

Should be straight sets.

 

[vokazu]

15 40 and Jannik picked his butt lol

 

[NaDjoFed]

Break Shelton in the first game.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Should be straight sets.

I hope sinner wins. Don’t like Shelton

 

[vokazu]

Wow Ben represents yo!!

 

[Krish872007]

Phenomenal pass from Shelton to break immediately

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

Please Shelton, make Sinner run.

 

[tx10is]

shelton forehand looks so wild tonight

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Great hold by Ben saving break point.

2-0 for the American!

 

[RSJfan]

I hope sinner wins. Don’t like Shelton

Tipsa…don’t like ‘em.

 

[pizzadontdie]

Sinner looks pale

Post is a good omen for Ben!

 

[Move]

Come on Ben. I want a better SF

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

Fonseca may have been defeated, but ON will be victorious.

 

[Arak]

This Sinner looks very much like the player he was before the doping scandal.

 

[Hitman]

I wonder if Sinner is a bit shocked that he is not playing Djokovic in the final.

 

[Topspin_80]

Even though Shelton is leading in the 1st set, I don't see him winning.

I'd like it though.

 

[TripleATeam]

Seems like a less intense match than I was expecting so far.

 

[Krish872007]

Good returns of serve and the world #1 is back on level terms

 

[Drighiz]

Shelton is gonna need many more first serves than this to stay in the match...

 

[Hitman]

Sinner back in business

 

[InsideOut900]

How is a guy who can't hit a basic mid court short in playing a Slam semi.

 

[Arak]

Shelton looks overwhelmed by the occasion.

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

I wonder if Sinner is a bit shocked that he is not playing Djokovic in the final.

Post ankle injury Zed has never choked.

 

[Topspin_80]

Shelton already broken!

The Sinner machine already on!

 

[Bogdan_TT]

Aaaaaand it's over for Shelton. Why are these people trash talking before the match? It's not "under 14" anymore. Jeez

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

Shelton looks overwhelmed by the occasion.

that's the whole point. he somehow beats sinner or pushes sinner, then goes wayward in the final so Z can win it all.

 

[Bogdan_TT]

Shelton's only chance is if Sinner's drugs don't kick in and he starts shaking again

 

[Drighiz]

Sinner not looking his best so far

 

[MaluTapiMau]

Damn, Sinner is like a wall

 

[bluetrain4]

I like Sinner's lemon-y yellow

 

[Enceladus]

Sinner hit impressive BH cross winner!

 

[NaDjoFed]

Ben playing well, but Sinner is warming up now

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

Shelton shouldn't be in SF tbh. We can talk trash all we want, but Tsitsipas and Medvedev are the ones who should be facing Sinner rn. Shelton has zero aura.

 

[Krish872007]

What a point!!

 

[chjtennis]

I wonder if Sinner is a bit shocked that he is not playing Djokovic in the final.

I think he would've chosen Zverev if he had the choice.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I wonder if Sinner is a bit shocked that he is not playing Djokovic in the final.

I don’t think he bothered by that. It just more of a slow start but he starting to find his groove now.

 

[Drighiz]

Great rally, but unfortunately for been this is just what Jannik needs to warm up

 

[chjtennis]

Ridiculous tennis from Sinner.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Incredible from sinner!

 

[Hitman]

I think he would've chosen Zverev if he had the choice.

I agree. But talking mental prep here.

 

[Hitman]

Shelton is going to have big problems trying to contain Sinner if he starts the diesel engine.

 

[Enceladus]

Shelton managed to surprise Sinner at the beginning of the match, but now Jannik is gaining more ground, especially thanks to cross strikes.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner is so fast! Wow!
