Australian Open 2024: Sinner takes Australian crown from Djokovic, who loses 2195 days later
Novak Djokovic lost the Australian Open crown this Friday after losing in the semi-finals with Jannik Sinner 6-1, 6-2, 6-7(6) and 6-3, in 3 hours 22 minutes.
Transalpine showed that right now, He is the most accomplished tennis player on the planet.. He ended last year showing signs of what he’s capable of, with a run to the ATP Finals in Turin, including a win over No. 1, and a Davis Cup title for Italy.
The freshness of twentysomethings contrasts with negative body language. about Djokovic, who at 36 years old will no longer have the opportunity to write his name on the competition sheet.
The Golden Helmet challenge is no longer a challenge. And the next major and the Olympic Games are already on the way. Roland Garros, land of Rafael Nadal. The Balkan won the first point of the match, defining it for what it is: long exchanges and no unforced errors.
What’s going on is that Sinner replied with six points in a row that were a declaration of intent. The Italian, the Serbian’s executioner in two of the last three, some as painful as the Davis Cup semi-final in Malaga, raced into a 3-0 lead after just 12 minutes.
Yannick’s down-to-earth, unadorned tennis style kept the 24th grand champion on his toes from the start. He even had a 4-0 ball..
Many went back in time and remembered the last defeat to Nole at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. It was January 22, 2018 against the Korean Hyun Chung.
The decorated tennis player has since won the Australian Open at least one more time, for a total of ten times. Sinner was not afraid to reach the semi-finals with the legend, decided in his favor the last 33 matches of the tournament.
At the 21st minute, not without suffering, Novak opened his locker. On Australia’s National Day, the crowd largely supported the young Italian.
Yannick commanded the others. With the score 4-1, two more halftime options arose. I figured out the first one. The score 6:1 caused widespread murmurs. The fans in attendance were getting closer to witnessing a historic moment.. Seeing a Belgrade tennis player lose on the Melbourne cement It is as rare and unique as Nadal’s fall on the Parisian pitch..
Djokovic took his first 1-0 lead in the second set.. It was a mirage because he suffered from every change of responsibilities. His opponent’s ball speed was faster.
Touching the abdomen
Sinner, untouchable on serve, again distanced himself to 3-1 and maintained that lead until he clinched the second set. Away from the night session, Nole is no longer the same. The sun affects you both physically and mentally. He also suffered from abdominal pain. The gestures in the changing chair gave him away.
Djokovic rarely feels helpless. This time the feeling lived in his flesh. Fans wanted more tennis and supported it more than ever.. It didn’t even work because there was no way for him to break. He didn’t even complain as the minutes ticked by and the games were almost always on the other side.
The Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi product has all the shots, including a midfield volley. His victim has lost only 11 of the 36 Grand Slam semi-finals he has played. Never in Australia.
match ball
A spectator’s illness led to the fight being stopped on scores of 5-5 and 40-40. and Serbian service. He was given medical treatment and transferred to an ambulance. Novak suffered sudden death in the third set and decided the outcome in his favor, saving match point at 5-6.. The opponent’s right hand got stuck in the net.
The sinner signed the sentence with the fifth break. None of them became the first favorite of the draw, because they also had no options for this. A forehand that the Italian missed in the third set he put into the final point of the fourth.
