In a surprising turn of events, Novak Djokovic's winning streak at the Australian Open came to an end as he was defeated by Italian fourth seed Jannik Sinner in the semifinals. Djokovic, who was aiming for his 11th title at the tournament, lost in four sets to the 22-year-old Sinner. This marks Djokovic's first loss at the Australian Open since 2018.

Sinner showed immense confidence and resilience throughout the match, regrouping after failing to convert a match point in the tie-breaker. The Italian player pressured Djokovic into making numerous uncharacteristic errors and did not allow him a single break point.

Sinner will now face either Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev or German sixth seed Alexander Zverev in the final. Both players will compete in the second semifinal match at Melbourne Park.

For US viewers, the Australian Open schedule may be a bit wonky due to the time difference. Day matches start at 7 p.m. ET the night before, with more matches rolling in at later times. Night sessions start at 3 a.m. ET.
