The 2025 Australian Open, the first Grand Slam tournament in world tennis this season, has reached the semi-finals of the men's and women's singles. In Men's Singles, Serbian star Novak Djokovic's 3-1 win over third seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the quarter-finals is considered to be the best of the tournament so far, and the eyes of fans are now focused on whether Djokovic and "defending champion" and Italy's top seed Jan Nick Sinner meet in the final.

Sinner

Sinner is currently ranked No. 1 in the world rankings, Alcaraz is No. 3 and Novak Djokovic is No. 7, but it is widely believed that the trio is forming a "final three" pattern in men's tennis. Among them, the trend of Sinner, born in 2001, and Alcaraz, born in 2003, joining forces to challenge the fortress of "Uncle" Djokovic, born in 1987, is a major attraction.

It is worth mentioning that Djokovic hired Andy Murray, a competitor of the same age and current team, as the coach of this tournament to start a "generational war" with rising stars born after 2000. Last year, Sinner dominated the Australian Open and US Open, Alcaraz dominated the French Open and Wimbledon to share the men's singles titles of the four Grand Slam tournaments, and Djokovic beat Alcaraz in the men's singles final at the Paris Olympics to win the gold medal.

First of all, Sinner and Djokovic will have to cross the semi-finals on the 24th if they want to meet in the final. Sinner and Novak Djokovic will face Ben Shelton (20th, USA) and Alexander Zverev (2nd, Germany) in the semi-finals.

Djokovic

Sinner's task is to overcome Sheldon's domineering, which is a year younger than him. Shelton is a strong player with a top speed of 232 kilometers per hour in the tournament, and Sinner has a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour in this tournament. Sinner's fight against left-handed, peer-aged rival Shelton could be trickier than his fight against Djokovic or Zverev, who are older than himself.

In the past, Sinner leads 4-1, but it will be a tough game if Sheldon serves and Sinner's momentum fails to dampen Sheldon's momentum early in the match.

Djokovic's variable is still physical strength. Djokovic, who wins the tournament, would have set the record for the oldest singles title in the history of a Grand Slam tournament (37 years and 8 months), and he gasped for air on several occasions in the final stages of his quarter-final match against Alcaraz. It has been commented that if Alcaraz is tied 4-4 at 4-3 in the final stage of the fourth set, the outcome will be unknown.

Zverev, a 10-year-old junior, has two runners-up finishes at Grand Slam tournaments, and has the advantage of being 1.98m tall and capable of hitting shots at deep angles. Zverev has an 8-4 record against Djokovic in the past, with Djokovic dominating.

If Djokovic wins this tournament, in addition to setting the record for the oldest Grand Slam singles champion, he can also set a record of 25 Grand Slam singles titles for the first time in history, and the third person in total to win 100 tournaments above the tour level.

Sinner tested positive for doping in March after winning last year's Australian Open, so he is determined to win two consecutive men's singles titles at this year's Australian Open, completely out of the "drug abuse controversy".
