About this listen
Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending Australian Open champion, powered into the quarterfinals with a stylish 6-1, 6-3, 7-6(2) demolition of fellow Italian Luciano Darderi on January 26, as reported by Tennis.com and ATP Tour. Fresh off a grueling third-round cramp-fest against Eliot Spizzirri where he admitted getting lucky with the heat rule roof closure, per his on-court interview via TNT Sports, Sinner showed zero hangover, firing 46 winners including 19 aces while saving all six break points. ATP Tour noted he snuffed out Darderi's late third-set surge, winning seven straight tiebreak points to seal his 18th consecutive AO win and fourth quarterfinal here, now eyeing a three-peat.
News18 highlighted the 23-year-old's elite milestone: his ninth straight Grand Slam quarterfinal, making him the third-youngest in Open Era history behind only Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic. Next up, a blockbuster against Ben Shelton, with a potential semifinal clash against Djokovic looming, per multiple outlets. Sinner dished post-match on his refined serve motion boosting confidence after last season's strong form, and praised Margaret Court Arena's vibe despite its evening slowdown.
Off-court buzz swirled around the Australian Open's Whoop wearable ban, Sports Business Journal revealing officials forced Sinner, alongside Sabalenka and Alcaraz, to ditch the biometric trackers mid-tournament weekend. Sinner shrugged it off in Melbourne pressers, saying rules are rules but the data on heart rate and calories aids post-match training tweaks, not live tactics. Whoop's CEO fired back on social media, demanding slams let athletes measure their bodies.
Sinner shared a chill recovery day on his official YouTube, from practice to dinner, fueling fan frenzy. No fresh business deals or public spats surfaced, but his flawless 18-0 record versus countrymen whispers dynasty vibes. With Americans dominating the women's quarters and heat woes sidelining others, Sinner's cool dominance steals the show Down Under.
