"Sinner's 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 quarter-final victory over the seventh seed extended his commanding record against Shelton to 9-1, with Sinner winning 22 consecutive sets since the 23-year-old American won their first meeting. Such dominance over one of the best young players indicates just how far ahead Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are of the rest of the field. Since a brief hiccup in his third-round match against Eliot Spizzirri when he suffered from cramps in hot conditions, Sinner has not put a foot wrong."
"I lost to him I think four or five in a row said Djokovic. He's just playing on such a high level right now, along with Carlos. They're the two best players in the world. Hopefully I can deliver my A-game for that matchup, because that's what's going to be needed to have a chance. I wasn't playing close to my best today, so I'm going to have to change that."
Jannik Sinner beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Grand Slam semi-finals and will face Novak Djokovic next. The victory extended Sinner's record against Shelton to 9-1 and pushed his run to 22 consecutive sets won against the American. Sinner is the second seed, on a 20-match winning streak and became the fifth player in the open era to reach six consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals. Djokovic trailed Lorenzo Musetti by two sets before Musetti retired with a thigh injury. Djokovic acknowledged Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are playing at an exceptionally high level.
