Sinner has also become the youngest player in history since Djokovic in 2008 to enter the men's singles final in Australian Open. He deserves every bit of the attention as he has stretched the wait of Djokovic for the 25th Grand Slam title while also crushing his dream of winning the 11th Australian Open title.

Such was the consistency of Djokovic here in Australian Open that he had never lost after going past the quarter-final stage of this tournament.

“He’s deservedly in the finals. He outplayed me completely,” Djokovic said. "Look, I was, in a way, shocked with my level — in a bad way. There was not much I was doing right in the first two sets.

“Yeah, I guess this is one of the worst Grand Slam matches I’ve ever played. At least that I remember.” 

Sinner was the only player in the final four who didn’t drop a set in the tournament, and he spent almost four fewer hours on court through five rounds than Djokovic, who was taken to four sets three times.
