Against the Dane Holger Rune, he felt dizzy, his hands were shaking and he needed medical attention. Jannik Sinner recovered quickly – and won the Australian Open quarterfinal against home hope Alex de Minaur convincingly. I was ready.

The title-defending Italian only needed one hour and 48 minutes to take a step closer to a new final in the Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner was dominant and impressed in the victory over Alex de Minaur, 6–3, 6–2, 6–1.

The 23-year-old says he felt recovered from the meeting with the Dane Holger Rune, when his hands were shaking and he needed medical care.

A few days ago, I just wanted to sleep. I've rested as best I could, relaxed and recovered, he says in the victory interview in Eurosport's broadcast.

Today, everything felt good and when you break his serve so early, it gets easier.

In the battle for a final spot, Sinner will face American Ben Shelton.

In the other semifinal, Serbian Novak Djokovic – who has won the Grand Slam tournament in Australia ten times – will meet Alexander Zverev, Germany.
