Novak Djokovic (37, Serbia, No. 1), who attempted to win the 25th major tournament, lost again to his 'difficult enemy' Jannik Sinner (23, Italy, No. 4) in the men's singles semifinals of the Australian Open and failed to advance to the finals. .

Sinner defeated Djokovic with a set score of 3-1 (6-1 6-2 6-7(6-8) 6-3) in the men's singles semifinals of the Australian Open, the first major tournament of the season held in Melbourne, Australia on the 26th.

Sinner attacked Djokovic with a strong serve exceeding 205 km/h from the first set. He also took the lead in the stroke battle, giving up only one game and winning the first set. This is the first time that Djokovic has only won one game in a set in this tournament.

Sinner, who won the set with stable play in the second set, lost the third set after a tiebreak and was chased down.

However, in the fourth set, Sinner pushed Djokovic again and advanced to the final with a set score of 3-1.

Djokovic's loss on this day brought his Australian Open winning streak to a halt at '33'. He was on a 33-game winning streak, winning all competitions from 2019 to the last competition, excluding the 2022 competition, which he missed due to not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Djokovic's last loss at the Australian Open prior to this match was on January 22, 2018, when he lost 0-3 to Korea's Chung Hyun (28) in the round of 16.

In addition, with this loss, Djokovic's challenge for his 25th title in the four major tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open), the first for both men and women, was canceled.

Currently, Djokovic stands shoulder to shoulder with women's tennis legend Margaret Court (82, Australia), having won 24 major tournaments.

Djokovic postponed his achievement of the record until the next tournament, the French Open, which will be held in May.

Meanwhile, Sinner, who reached the final of a major tournament for the first time, will meet the winner of another semifinal match, Alexander Zverev (27, Germany, 6th) and Daniil Medvedev (28, 3rd of Russia), in the final and aim for his first win in the tournament. 카지노
