The Australian 2025 open semi-finals are fixed. Wednesday’s matches finalized the opponents, and there is an American left standing in simple male: 22 years old Ben Shelton.
Shelton, seeded n ° 21, has won an exhausting quarter -final against Cinderella not groped Lorenzo SonegoThe battant 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (4). SONEGO and Shelton were well matched as competitors and each set was strongly disputed, until equality break at the end. And if someone wondered how Sonego, 29, currently classified n ° 55 in the world, reached the first quarter -final of the Grand Chelem of his career, all he had to do was to look. SONEGO had made extraordinary points all over the tournament.
But Wednesday, points like that were not enough for Sonego to exceed Shelton. Shelton has been a talent that simmer slowly in recent years, and now it seems ready to boil and perhaps even to move closer to the ATP ranking.
Jannik sinnerSeed n ° 1 and the title champion of the Aussie Open, had more facilitated against the seeded n ° 8 Alex de Minaur. While the last Australian standing in simple male and female, the crowd was firmly on the side of Minaur, but Sinner still won a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 victory in less than two hours.
Now Shelton, appearing in his second semi-final of the Grand Chelem in a career and the first Australian open semi-final, will have to face the world n ° 1. And unfortunately, the story is not on its side. Sinner played 14 Americans in the Grand Chelem tournaments and beaten each of them. Although the chances are stacked against him, Shelton will try to obtain a victory in the United States and participate in his very first Grand Slam final.
Then, of course, in the final, Shelton should play Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev, who competes in the other semi-final match on Friday.
Earlier Wednesday, the American seeded n ° 12, Madison Keys, reached the semi-finals, where she will face the seeded n ° 2 IGA Swiatek. In the other semi-final, the n ° 1 Aryna Sabalenka will face the No. 11 Paula Badosa.
