Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner Australian Open semi-final live streaming details: Novak Djokovic is aiming for his 11th Australian Open final and a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, but he faces a major challenge against the defending champion, Jannik Sinner. Sinner advanced by defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, extending his Melbourne winning streak to 19 matches.

Djokovic progressed via a walkover when Lorenzo Musetti retired injured at 6-4, 6-3, 1-3 in their quarterfinal. This marks their third straight Australian Open semi-final clash, with Sinner winning the last two, including his 2024 title run.

While Djokovic is well-rested after his last two opponents withdrew due to injuries. His actual performance, however, has been shaky and full of mistakes. He admitted he was lucky to win his quarterfinal only because his opponent got hurt. This “generational clash” is especially difficult because the 24-year-old Sinner has beaten the 38-year-old Djokovic in their last five meetings. If Djokovic wants to win, he cannot afford a slow start against a younger player who has dominated him in recent major tournaments.
