Jannik Sinner, killer instinct: also his in the second set against Ben Shelton

Jannik Sinner takes a 2-0 lead in the Australian Open semifinals against Ben Shelton of the United States. After the first set was reeled back in and won at the tie-break after saving no less than two set points in the 12th game, the second partial, on the other hand, immediately got on the right track for the Blue, who immediately found the break against an opponent still shaken by the ending of the previous set.

The South Tyrolean tennis player still does not particularly shine on serve, but è lethal in the decisive moments and saves a break ball in the second game, before breaking Shelton again in the third game. The American loses confidence and begins to make more errors in response and Sinner comfortably takes the lead, winning the second set 6-2.

Now only one set separates Jannik Sinner from the Melbourne final against Alexander Zverev.
