Jannik Sinner is the defending champion of the Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner prevailed over Holger Rune in tough conditions, despite shaking and gasping for breath. The Italian struggled for long parts in the first half of the game but managed to stay in the contest. The Dane put up a very good fight and tied the scores at the end of the second set.

However, Rune will regret not converting the break point chances that came his way in the third set. Once, Sinner started feeling better he began to up the ante and ultimately won the battle. Despite the win, question marks linger over Sinner’s fitness and the aura of invincibility seems to have been shattered.

Alex de Minaur, on the other hand, won his clash comprehensively against Alex Michelsen in the fourth round to become the first Australian to advance to the quarterfinals since Nick Kyrgios in 2015. The eighth seed will look to test Sinner as he aims to advance to his maiden Grand Slam semi-final.

However, de Minaur has struggled big time against the Italian when the duo has met each other in the past.

Sinner has a huge 9-0 lead over the Aussie, giving the defending champion a psychological advantage heading into the contest.

Match prediction

Despite Sinner’s struggles against Rune, he continues to be the favourite in the competition. Some of the exchanges between the Italian and Rune, which Sinner won braving the discomfort were a treat to watch. The top seed’s health should improve as the quarter-final round is two days after the fourth-round clash.

de Minaur has been in fine form having won with conviction, three games on the trot. However, his previous results against the Italian reinstates the top seed’s domination. The Aussie had a fabulous 2024 yet failed to win even a single set in his three encounters with Sinner last season.

In this clash between the number one ranked player and the eight seed, Sinner is expected to dominate again over the Aussie thereby advancing to the semifinals of yet another Grand Slam major.

Result: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.
