it was very easy today for sinner get access to another final! As usual he looks in a good shape even after minor injuries and the news of some health problems.
Djokovic resignation was some unpredictable. It seems he also missing the last training... so it was not totally a news...
Lets see the final. Sinner on that shape is a monstre... I don't know if Zverev would be able to fight against him. For sure not playing a full match could be a minor advantage for him.

In recent time too many injuries problems for players in Tennis and Soccer just because of workload things are going problematic.
First Dimitrov withdraw due to injury then Djokovic withdraws from semifinal due to injury and now in third set of second semifinal Shelton is also needed medical.
Sports official needs to think about this and also bring better policy otherwise players could be not able to stay on grounds for long time due to their health issues.

Damn. Sucks to see Djokovic walkover after playing so well throughout the course of this tournament, but his body just couldn't keep up as expected and it would have still been tough for him to win even if he didn't get injured since Zverev was pushing him hard.
I really don't see him surpassing Court in order to acquire the 25th grand slam anymore after this injury. Expecting Sinner vs Zverev in the final now and Sinner will probably win.
After amazing performance in Australian Open a heartbreaker end of event for Novak Djokovic while he retired hurt just after end of first set with this now he is also out of Davis Cup clash against Denmark which is setback for the Serbia due to muscle problem future is uncertain because most updates will become after few days.I really don't see him surpassing Court in order to acquire the 25th grand slam anymore after this injury. Expecting Sinner vs Zverev in the final now and Sinner will probably win.

Keys performance is amazing as she is looking for her second final of any Grand Slam final after US Open final in 2017.
She is still unbeaten since winning the title in Adelaide, which is quite impressive considering her form at the start of the year. Swiatek played well but Keys was more solid in the crucial points. The final will be Sabalenka vs Keys, Keys can be a threat to Sabalenka if she continues to play solid, and I think Keys will try not to fail again in a grand slam final, I'm going for Keys to win the GS title.
I agree, it was a great performance from Madison, as she goes to her second Grand Slam and it was a epic come from behind win.
There was at one point Swiatek was serving for a match after she broke Keys, but then it was a costly double fault on here side, worst time for him to make that error and then Keys send it to a tie break.
So it will be Sabalenka aiming for her 3rd Melbourne title vs Madison Keys this Saturday.
It was indeed a great performance by Madison. I didn't see the odds for that match,
I'm sure Swiatek was favourite and I hope some of you made something from that match?
Madison again is underdog for the final and rightly so, she is a top performer but can
Madison pull off another win is the big question?
Have to go over or under here, Can Madison take a set from Aryna is another
burning question.
Keys performance is amazing as she is looking for her second final of any Grand Slam final after US Open final in 2017.

Second semifinal were epic 12 seeded Madison Keys stun 2nd seeded Igor Swiatek in three sets semifinal Keys is now having 11 matches winning streak which is amazing from her final is going to be amazing between these two players which will be played on Saturday.
Igor Swiatek won first set and then gone badly down in second set with the score of 6–1 and third set were really epic as Keys won on tiebreaker.

Simply unstoppable J Sinner took only 110 minutes to thrash De Minaur in quarterfinal of AO and have next game against big serving Shelton who beats Sonego in another quarterfinal for completing lineup for the semifinal which are going to play on Friday.
How good was Sinner in this game? He just beat the number 8 seed and obviously the crowd favorite as Alex is the number 1 Australian player? And the thing is that it was reported that Sinner is sick with pneumonia and still won in 3 sets very easy.
So it is a dominant win, and if he continues to play this way, who knows, we don't know who can stop this version of Sinner as simply he is too good.
Sinner looks healthy now and has another easy match in the semis aswell. He will be in the final for sure and if he beats in 3 sets he will be rested for the final. Was expecting more from De Minaur he was playing at his home court and couldnt even make the match fun at least. Sinner just destroyed him.
Not anymore healthy. According a major newspaper here in Italy, it seems he get a "virus" in Melbourne with several symptoms. News published today!
However it seems he will able to play semi-final against Shelton... Let see if this healthy condition can have an impact on his performace.
Djokovic and Sinner cleverly used medical timeouts to their advantage and I am guessing they might use more of them in their coming matches. Sinner looks set to reach the final while Djokovic will probably struggle against Zverev.
Even if Nole manages to reach the final, I really don't see how he can defeat a monster like Sinner who can win even if he isn't healthy. Excited for the remaining matches.

There was an early hype around Alcaraz and he was on a roll, but he will never be a legend on the level of Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, even though it is clear that he will be a very strong tennis player in the future. Djokovic, who is on the verge of giving up tennis, showed that to himself in this match. This man is thirty seven years old and he plays the most talented player the sport has ever seen and he wins. And what a win. Along with Michael Jordan, I've never seen a player with such a high mental strength and I probably never will. If he finishes the series, I think it's going to be a unique end to his slam career.
Well what I will say about Alcaraz is that to date he doesnt have the consistency
that he was promised to have a year or two ago. When he is on form he is
electric but its not always the case.
Second semi final is known Sinner v Shelton, Sinner for the final for sure and possibly
in 3 sets here IMO.
On the Womens side:
Sabalenka v Badosa
Keys v Swiatek
Wouldnt it be fantastic for a Badosa v Keys final?

Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite here, good to bet here if you are for a Djokovic fan. Although I think the value is on the handicap +/-3.5. And the totals is over/under 39.5. For sure this is going to be an epic fight and maybe going into 5 sets?
5 sets? I doubt that. Alcaraz might finish this one in 3 sets himself considering his form and the improvement in his serve recently. On the other hand, Djokovic isn't the beast that he once was and literally anyone can see that.His racquet skills are on the downtrend while his shittalk skills are on the uptrend. Bet on Alcaraz to win this one quite comfortably.
Don't underestimate Djokovic on high stake stage specially Grand Slam. Although his form could have regressed, but still he still one of the best when it comes to this kind of tournament.
Next for him is will be the second seed Zverev. Again, if might be good to throw some money on Djokovic, maybe another 4 setter again.
Today masterclass from Novak Djokovic as he gives early exit to Carlos Alcaraz within 4 sets which was really impressive from this legendary player as he was at the top of his game while Alcaraz have no answers for his shots and give up without any serious resistance.
I'm not sure either about 5 sets purely based on Alcaraz' current form but also
I would be confident Djokovic can take a set from Alcaraz because Alcaraz has
been known to disappear for a while during matches.
...so based on my prediction it all happened, 4 sets and Djokovic to win 1 set...
But he won 2 more after that!
It was a fantastic match though and now he faces Zverev who himself beat Paul over
4 sets and two tie breaks, that was a great match to bet over!
I really thought this was going to be Alcaraz's match.
Zverev for him is a much easier opponent it isnt that intense to play against. The problem against Zverev is that he has a good serve and that might cause problems for Djokovic. If Djokovic serves good and dosent lose too many serves he will win for sure against Zverev

On the womens side, Gauff was beaten today by Badosa. I believe Coco was
tipped to go to the final and possibly win.
