Sinner races into Australian Open semis after beating Alex de Minaur

The Times of India in Melbourne: Alex de Minaur had produced his best tennis to make the Australian Open quarterfinal, but on Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday, playing before an adoring full-house that called out to him, cheering him on, ‘let’s go Demon, let’s go’, the world No. 8 threw up his arms in frustration, he shook his head and gestured at his box, but there was no respite, the barrage coming at him from across the net was relentless.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner may not have silenced the voluble crowd, who were firmly behind the home hope, but he owned the last-eight clash, taking it by the scruff, to score a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 win in one-hour and 48-minutes.
