well done novak. didn't watch it but they're saying it was a great match. beating sinner isn't easy. there he was two sets down in the quarters and now he's into another final. can't keep a champion down

Wonder if he has the stamina to outlast Alcaraz now although he was able to rest up a bit with a complete walk over and another uncompleted match earlier, good on him for beating Sinner though.

Alcaraz also will be buggered after his fiver setter against Zveres ( sp ? ) , that was a classic from what i saw and Zveres was very unlucky after being up a break and 5-3 in the fifth set.

it looked like it was a two horse race but there's been a joker in the pack. maybe alcaraz's cramps are an issue but he's still a warm favourite on sportsbet. i don't follow it that closely but you'd figure djokovic must be some sort of a chance. he's done it before lol

I haven’t watched any of the Aus Open this year. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. But Novak sure has a way of getting himself to the final most years.

Is he the GOAT?

It could have very easily been a Zveres vs Joker final.

Of the Australian Open, possibly. Roger may have something to say about it all though.

I think a fair proportion of the Joker’s wins have been at the Australian Open though.

The joker is in trouble.

None of them have won a Grand Slam
A Grand Slam winner is someone who wins the 4 majors in the same year.
The last guy to do it was Rod Laver in 1969.
