Aus Open: Top Seed Sinner Holds Rune For Quarterfinal Berth
American Alex Michelsen: Defending champion Jannik Sinner had to dig deep into his physical and mental reserves at Australian Open 2025 on Monday to keep his title defense on track as the Italian saw off Holger Rune of Denmark 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals.
In hot and humid conditions, the top-seed Italian was struggling midway through his fourth-round match with Rune. But after medical timeouts and even a lengthy break for a broken net, he found a way to win.
Sinner, who won his first Grand Slam title here last year, took the first set in 33 minutes to set up a quarterfinal against either Australia’s big hope Alex de Minaur or young American Alex Michelsen.
