Well unlike his approach in his heyday, Djokovic will need to shorten the points wherever possible and he\u2019d also benefit from throwing in plenty of variety in terms of slice and spin, and coming to the net when he gets the chance, to disrupt Sinner\u2019s metronomic rhythm from the baseline. It goes without saying he needs to serve extremely well and not give Sinner too many second serves. But at 15-all he lands a big first serve, and Sinner, peak Djokovic style, still sends a backhand pass down the line a few shots later! Djokovic is basically looking at a mirror image of himself 14 years ago. 15-30 quickly develops into 15-40 and Sinner strikes straight away.&lt;\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;aef75cd3-2082-4739-95f2-4013871a9f71&quot;}],&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;pinned&quot;:false,&quot;keyEvent&quot;:true,&quot;summary&quot;:false},&quot;blockCreatedOn&quot;:1769768806000,&quot;blockCreatedOnDisplay&quot;:&quot;10.26\u00a0GMT&quot;,&quot;blockLastUpdated&quot;:1769769746000,&quot;blockLastUpdatedDisplay&quot;:&quot;10.42\u00a0GMT&quot;,&quot;blockFirstPublished&quot;:1769769094000,&quot;blockFirstPublishedDisplay&quot;:&quot;10.31\u00a0GMT&quot;,&quot;blockFirstPublishedDisplayNoTimezone&quot;:&quot;10.31&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Sinner breaks&quot;,&quot;contributors&quot;:[],&quot;primaryDateLine&quot;:&quot;Fri 30 Jan 2026 11.13 GMT&quot;,&quot;secondaryDateLine&quot;:&quot;First published on Fri 30 Jan 2026 08.20 GMT&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;697c86948f08a258bda26635&quot;,&quot;elements&quot;:[{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First set: Djokovic* 0-1 Sinner (*next server)&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;3add84e4-76e4-4190-89af-2c10f5052d46&quot;},{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;Sinner steps up to serve first, having swapped his much-maligned mustard shorts for some plain white ones, though he\u2019s still got his olive green shirt.

Djokovic is having to work so hard to put Sinner away and, after another draining duel, Djokovic surrenders with a drop shot that doesn\u2019t even get to the net. 40-30, Sinner is piling on the pressure \u2026 but then hits beyond the baseline. Djokovic does what he couldn\u2019t do in the first set by opening with a hold.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"4087ad52-3675-450d-81ef-6cbdeecf0e35\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.VideoYoutubeBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\">\n<div data-component=\"youtube-embed\" class=\"dcr-1y1vf5o\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rTEXc8IppAk?wmode=opaque&amp;feature=oembed\" title=\"The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show (1979)\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-697c906e8f0836b98ffc7eb6&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-697c906e8f0836b98ffc7eb6&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-697c906e8f0836b98ffc7eb6#block-697c906e8f0836b98ffc7eb6\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-697c90248f0836b98ffc7ea8\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Meanwhile here\u2019s Tumaini\u2019s preview of the women\u2019s final:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-154zxly\">\n<p><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 14\" style=\"fill:var(--block-quote-fill)\" class=\"dcr-scql1j\"><path d=\"M5.255 0h4.75c-.572 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941H0C.792 9.104 2.44 4.53 5.255 0Zm11.061 0H21c-.506 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941h-8.686c.902-4.837 2.485-9.411 5.3-13.941Z\"\/><\/svg>At the end of yet another semi-final in Melbourne on Thursday night, Aryna Sabalenka slammed the door shut on Elina Svitolina with a searing forehand winner, her 29th of the night. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jan\/29\/aryna-sabalenka-elina-svitolina-australian-open-semi-final-tennis\">another near flawless performance<\/a> from the Belarusian, another match she dominated from start to finish without any response, reinforcing her status as the leading hard court player of her generation.<\/p>\n<p>Six matches in, Sabalenka\u2019s fourth consecutive run to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/australian-open\">Australian Open<\/a> final has proved one of her most impressive. Sabalenka is yet to drop a set and she has shown how much her game has evolved by also dominating the net and peppering opponents with an array of delicate drop shots. The few times she has been pushed, such as in her third round match against Anastasia Potapova, the world No 1 has produced her best tennis in the decisive moments and she has been in control of the baseline throughout.<\/p>\n<p>A completely different match-up awaits Sabalenka on Saturday as she faces Elena Rybakina, the fifth seed and one of her toughest rivals, for her fifth grand slam title. While their career achievements reflect the fact that Sabalenka is the more rounded player, a better mover and returner with greater variation and consistency, Rybakina is one of the only players on tour capable of tearing the racket from Sabalenka\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p>This was the case just three months ago at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where Rybakina closed out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2025\/nov\/08\/elena-rybakina-sinks-aryna-sabalenka-to-claim-wta-finals-and-record-prize\">a spectacular 6-3, 7-6(0) win over Sabalenka<\/a> to clinch the second biggest title of her career behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2022\/jul\/09\/elena-rybakina-storms-back-to-beat-ons-jabeur-in-wimbledon-final\">her Wimbledon crown<\/a>. At the end of the match, after the Kazakhstani bulldozed through the second set tie-break without dropping a set, an inconsolable Sabalenka was captured on video venting to her team: \u201cOnce a year, even a stick shoots,\u201d she said of Rybakina\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Rybakina is not nearly as temperamental as Sabalenka suggested, but her title run in Riyadh had come after so many false starts. Until a few weeks before the WTA Finals, Rybakina was not even in a qualifying spot as one of the top eight players. Her late surge in Asia to qualify for the event increasingly looks like one of the more significant moments of her career. She has continued the momentum she built in Riyadh, also reaching the final in Melbourne without dropping a set. While Sabalenka\u2019s level has been astounding, there is no doubt that Rybakina has had the tougher path to the final, defeating two top players in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jan\/28\/rybakina-swiatek-pegula-anisimova-australian-open-womens-quarter-finals-tennis\">world No 2 Iga Swiatek<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jan\/29\/elena-rybakina-jessica-pegula-semi-final-sabalenka-rematch-australian-open-tennis\">Jessica Pegula<\/a>, the WTA No 6, en route.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>You can read the rest here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"bcb88d99-6697-4b1d-96af-9dfb9963cd98\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:3,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Rybakina poses threat to Sabalenka\u2019s bid for legendary status in Australian Open final&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;bcb88d99-6697-4b1d-96af-9dfb9963cd98&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;inline&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jan\/30\/rybakina-poses-threat-to-sabalenkas-bid-for-legendary-status-in-australian-open-final&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-697c90248f0836b98ffc7ea8&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-697c90248f0836b98ffc7ea8&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-697c90248f0836b98ffc7ea8#block-697c90248f0836b98ffc7ea8\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container ad-slot-desktop dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-697c8f1b8f08a20d41f3887e\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">Sinner wins the first set 6-3<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Sinner gives Djokovic a taste of his own 2015 medicine by dragging Djokovic side to side in an attritional rally before finishing his opponent off by crushing a forehand winner after a 17-shot exchange. 30-0. 40-0.

Djokovic must hold serve if he\u2019s to push Sinner any further in this opener.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-697c8d968f08860c6175fa1a&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-697c8d968f08860c6175fa1a&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-697c8d968f08860c6175fa1a#block-697c8d968f08860c6175fa1a\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-697c8cd68f0839b22fe6ffab\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>First set: Djokovic 2-4 Sinner* (*next server)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">15-0, 30-0, 40-0; Djokovic\u2019s most stress-free service game of this semi-final so far.

Well unlike his approach in his heyday, Djokovic will need to shorten the points wherever possible and he\u2019d also benefit from throwing in plenty of variety in terms of slice and spin, and coming to the net when he gets the chance, to disrupt Sinner\u2019s metronomic rhythm from the baseline. It goes without saying he needs to serve extremely well and not give Sinner too many second serves. But at 15-all he lands a big first serve, and Sinner, peak Djokovic style, still sends a backhand pass down the line a few shots later!

That matches had been one-sided, and lacking memorable moments. That so-called SinCaraz was a foregone conclusion. That tennis had lost its touch.<\/p>\n<p>Murmur no more. In this year\u2019s first match on Rod Laver Arena to go five sets, Carlos Alcaraz leapt off the canvas to outlast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/alexander-zverev\">Alexander Zverev<\/a> 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-7 (4), 7-5 over five hours and 27 minutes \u2013 the third longest match in Australian Open history.<\/p>\n<p>It was so long it pushed the second men\u2019s semi-final back more than an hour and left thousands watching on big screens around Melbourne Park.

It was a duel that tossed expectation out the window, and then opened the door and walked out as well.<\/p>\n<p>Walk? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> wished he could, when he was within a game of the match all the way back in the third set. The Spaniard appeared to be sailing towards victory, but cramping in his legs left him unable to run, swing or serve at full pace, and allowed Zverev a way back. Alcaraz took on fluids and received massages, including in a controversial medical timeout opposed by Zverev, and rediscovered his form.<\/p>\n<p>But the German remained focused, and quashed Alcaraz\u2019s revival by staring him down in the fourth set tie-break and then breaking early in the fifth. All he needed to do was rely on his potent serve and serve it out.

Alcaraz holds for 6-5. And what mettle does Zverev have? The great players go for it in the biggest moments, as Alcaraz did to break Zverev when the German was serving for the match. Zverev was far too passive. An attacking Alcaraz swings his way to deuce here \u2026 and gets a match point when Zverev\u2019s forehand fails! <strong>And after five hours and 27 minutes, Alcaraz finally gets the job done, 6-4, 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 7-5, when he fizzes a forehand down the line and Zverev\u2019s volley slumps into the net!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Alcaraz is into his first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/australian-open\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Australian Open<\/a> final and is one win away from a career slam. It may not have been <em>quite<\/em> as dramatic as his great escape from three championship points down in last year\u2019s French Open final, but it was absorbing, enthralling and confounding nonetheless, especially given Alcaraz could barely move in the third set. And also somehow inevitable, given Sincaraz\u2019s slam supremacy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"7af4f3df-e028-4657-b14c-d9b91e52ff95\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:2,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Carlos Alcaraz beats Alexander Zverev in epic five-set Australian Open semi-final \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;7af4f3df-e028-4657-b14c-d9b91e52ff95&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;inline&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/australian-open-2026-mens-tennis-semi-final-live-carlos-alcaraz-v-alexander-zverev#maincontent&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"3b822244-ad86-4c49-a636-9a605b00bb33\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Carlos Alcaraz celebrates winning an epic semi-final against Alex Zverev.<\/span> Photograph: William West\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-697c75418f08c80382169350&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-697c75418f08c80382169350&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner: Australian Open 2026 semi-final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jan\/30\/novak-djokovic-v-jannik-sinner-australian-open-2026-semi-final-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-697c75418f08c80382169350#block-697c75418f08c80382169350\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a0<time datetime=\"2026-01-30T09:47:32.000Z\" data-locale=\"en-gb\" title=\"Friday, 30 January 2026 at 09:47 Greenwich Mean Time\">09.47 GMT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<aside data-ad-slot=\"true\" class=\"ad-slot-container ad-slot-desktop dcr-jko40v\"\/>\n<article id=\"block-697c73578f086e0f518183e2\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Alcaraz holds \u2026 just.

So that\u2019s all I can say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre [Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz] better right now than me and all the other guys? Yes, they are. I mean, the quality and the level is amazing. It\u2019s great. It\u2019s phenomenal. But does that mean that I walk out with a white flag? No. I\u2019m going to fight until the last shot, until the last point, and do my very best to challenge them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This match-up will mark Djokovic\u2019s fifth consecutive grand slam semi-final, a remarkable development at 38. He struggled physically in the final stages of each of his four semi-final runs last year, his body unable to withstand the physical strain of six best of five sets matches. But this year Djokovic has spent only nine hours and seven minutes on court while playing 11 completed sets.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, this is an extremely positive development for Djokovic, who managed to conserve energy across five rounds and should finally head into his match against Sinner in good physical shape. The problem is that despite being in the semi-finals, he has not won a set since the third round. After receiving a walkover against the 16th seed Jakub Mensik in round two, he was thoroughly outplayed by Lorenzo Musetti for two sets before being handed a remarkable slice of luck.

I find it a bit disrespectful you miss out on what happened in between,\u201d the 38-year-old said. \u201cThere\u2019s about a 15-year period where I was dominating the grand slams. I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m chasing, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Perhaps he did simply want more recognition of his achievements. Though perhaps his response betrayed a sense of frustration at what he\u2019s up against in this match against Sinner, the two-time defending champion. And perhaps he was also raging against the passing of time, because how he must wish he could go back to his days of dominance to secure that elusive, record-breaking grand slam title No 25 rather than having two young upstarts ahead of him who are taking men\u2019s tennis to stratospheric levels that didn\u2019t seem possible when the Big Three dissipated. The Big Two are a constant reminder to Djokovic of the time he doesn\u2019t have left in tennis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The story is well-told: Djokovic, the 10-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/australian-open\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Australian Open<\/a> champion, has been stuck on 24 since the 2023 US Open, with Alcaraz and Sinner carving up the past eight major titles between them and the Serb being reduced to the status of the third-best player at the biggest tournaments. Last year Djokovic reached all four slam semi-finals \u2013 but he hit a Sincaraz wall in three of them and retired hurt against Zverev in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This year he looks more vulnerable, having reached the semis only because Lorenzo Musetti quit injured when Djokovic was two sets down in their quarter-final, and he also benefitted from a walkover in the last 16. He\u2019s playing with a second life today, and he knows it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Whether this means he\u2019ll be fresh or undercooked, we\u2019ll have to see. We do know he\u2019s been dealing with a painful blister on his foot, which doesn\u2019t augur well given he needs every bit of movement against Sinner, who does everything that Djokovic does so well but is 14 years younger.
