Defending champion Jannik Sinner continued his sizzling Australian Open run with a 7-6 (2), 6-2, 6-2 victory over American No. 21 seed Ben Shelton on Friday to reach a second straight final at Melbourne Park and book a meeting with Alexander Zverev.
Sinner¡¯s victory made the 23-year-old the youngest man to make multiple finals at the Australian Open since Jim Courier in 1992-93 and kept alive his dream of becoming the first Italian to lift three Grand Slam singles trophies.
¡°I¡¯m happy to be back in the final again,¡± said Sinner, who had to overcome a cramp in the third set.
