In a shocking turn of events, 22-year-old Jannik Sinner has shattered Novak Djokovic's undefeated streak in the Australian Open semifinals. On January 26, 2024, the 10-time champion's record-extending 48th Grand Slam semifinal came to an end as Sinner emerged victorious with a 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over the legendary player.

Djokovic had been enjoying an impressive run, having won 32 consecutive matches at Melbourne before his defeat to Sinner. The young Italian player showcased his talent and determination, having previously beaten Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals. With this win, Sinner will now appear in his first career Grand Slam final, marking a significant achievement in his tennis career.

Meanwhile, on the men's side, No. 3 Daniil Medvedev secured his place in the finals after a thrilling five-set match against No. 3 Alexander Zverev. Medvedev's victory came after a grueling battle, with a final score of 5-7, 3-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-3. It is worth noting that this is Medvedev's sixth Grand Slam final appearance and his third out of the past four years in the Australian Open final.

On the women's side, defending champion Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominant performance at the Australian Open. She defeated American teenager Coco Gauff in the semifinals with a score of 7-6, 6-4. This victory not only secured Sabalenka's position in the finals but also made her the first woman since Serena Williams to reach the Australian Open finals two years in a row.

The quarterfinal matches in Melbourne were marked by stark contrasts. Gauff endured a lengthy and error-filled game against Marta Kostyuk, eventually prevailing with a 7-6 (6), 6-7 (3), 6-2 win that lasted three hours and eight minutes. In contrast, Sabalenka easily claimed a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Barbora Krejcikova in less than an hour. Throughout the tournament, Sabalenka has been in outstanding form, dropping just 16 games and spending a combined 5.25 hours on court through five rounds.

In another remarkable feat, No. 12 Qinwen Zheng emerged victorious in the semifinal round against Dayana Yastremska with a 6-4, 6-4 win. Yastremska's impressive run as the first qualifier in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam semifinal since 1978 ended with Zheng's triumph.

The 2024 Australian Open has been a thrilling showcase of extraordinary talent and fierce competition. As the tournament progresses, tennis fans eagerly await the finals, where Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev will battle it out for the men's title, while Aryna Sabalenka and Qinwen Zheng will vie for the women's championship.
