Defending champion Jannik Sinner is set to battle Alexander Zverev for the Australian Open men’s singles crown in what promises to be a Sunday showdown at Melbourne Park.

Sinner, the tournament’s top seed, put on a clinic in his semifinal, dispatching American 21st seed Ben Shelton with a commanding 7-6(2), 6-2, 6-2 victory under the lights at Rod Laver Arena.

The 22-year-old sensation has now etched his name alongside legends, becoming the youngest man since Jim Courier (1992-93) to make back-to-back Australian Open finals. With this win, the two-time Grand Slam champ improved his record in semifinal showdowns to 3-2, wrapping up the match in a tidy two hours and 36 minutes.

On the other side, Zverev booked his ticket to the final in unusual fashion, as Novak Djokovic—the 10-time Australian Open champ—was forced to retire due to injury after Zverev snagged a gritty first set, 7-6(5).

Heading into the title clash, Zverev holds the upper hand in their rivalry with a 4-2 record against Sinner, including two wins in three Grand Slam matchups. With his eyes firmly on the prize, Zverev is chasing his first major title, and it’s safe to say he’s got a point to prove.
