Jannik Sinner beat USA’s Ben Shelton in their Australian Open quarter-final on Wednesday.
Sinner has previously struggled with the heat during this year’s tournament but had no such issues in his match against Shelton.
The Italian produced an efficient performance to beat Shelton 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and move into the semi-finals.
Sinner will face Novak Djokovic in the last four after the Serbian star picked up a fortunate victory earlier on Wednesday.
Djokovic was two sets down against Lorenzo Musetti before the Italian was forced to retire due to injury to hand Djokovic a semi-final berth.
