After two days of fighting, the Australian Open men's and women's singles semi-finals were produced, namely the defending champion Sabalenka in women's singles, former world No. 1 Swiatek, Badosa who reached the peak of his comeback, and Keys who upset Rybakina.

The men's singles semi-finals are: 10-time champion Novak Djokovic who defeated Acre, Zverev, who is only behind Djokovic in recent years to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam, defending champion Sinner who only allowed De Minaur to win six games in the quarter-finals, and Sheldon, who went one step further and reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam again after the year before.

According to statistics, this is the first left-hander to reach the men's singles semi-finals in two hard-court Grand Slams since 1988, except for Nadal and Sheldon. Among the post-00s, only Sinner and Shelton reached the men's singles semifinals in the two hard court Grand Slams. Aka is as strong as Arca, who won the US Open three years ago, but his best result so far is still in the quarter-finals, just two seasons away from becoming the youngest player to win a Grand Slam.

Of the players who have reached the semi-finals of two hard-court Grand Slams, Shelton is the youngest active player to achieve this feat. The rest of the players include: Djokovic, Wawrinka, Cilic, Dimitrov, Medvedev, Zverev, Berrettini, Khachanov, Sinner.

Take a look at this list and it's star-studded! The top four are post-80s players, three of whom have already won Grand Slam titles, and Dimitrov is slightly inferior, but he also has year-end finals and Masters titles on his books.

Among the post-90s players, the Russian trio is the only one who lacks Rublev, and the best Grand Slam result of his career so far is still stuck in the quarterfinals, but Kachanov, who was the first of the three to win the Masters but fell silent, has reached the semifinals of the US Open and the Australian Open in recent seasons. As Mr. Mei, who has reached the finals of the Australian Open and the US Open more than once, the top priority is how to return himself to the ranks of contenders for the king of hard courts.

Zverev and Berrettini have both won Grand Slam runners-up and are at home on the court with their powerful serves, but injuries and fitness are the constraints that will depend on how they adjust to their careers over the rest of their careers.

In fact, Sinner's first Grand Slam semi-final was not on hard courts, but at Wimbledon a few years ago. After winning back-to-back Australian and US Opens last year, he has become the undisputed number one hard-court player among active players. At present, Sheldon, who is the top three in the hard court strength of the post-00s, will launch a strong attack on the defending champion and the world No. 1. Whose hand did the deer die? Let's wait and see!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
