Jannik Sinner's run at the 2025 Australian Open is continuing without major problems. The world number 1 is serious about defending the title he won at Melbourne Park last year and has lost only one set so far.

After a slightly less convincing performance in the second round, the Italian ace raised his level today and left Marcos Giron no chance in the night session. The American player did his best to put the 2-time Grand Slam champion in trouble, but the difference between the two players was just too wide.
The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria prevailed in three sets and will face Holger Rune on Monday for a place in the quarterfinals. The young Dane may be his most dangerous threat heading into the final, especially after Taylor Fritz's shocking elimination against Gael Monfils.
Sinner analyzes his game
At the end of the match against Giron, Jannik commented on his performance with his usual lucidity: I am very happy to be in the next round. Every match has its own difficulties.

Today I felt like he was very solid from the back of the court when he served well.
I still have room to improve, but every win is great, especially in these conditions. As always, thank you so much for your support, its amazing to play night sessions here.
The World No.1 wants to improve a specific shot: Today the percentage of my net game was not really good, but I try to improve, its part of the game. Sometimes I feel things a little bit better, sometimes worse, thats normal.
Trying to stay there mentally is the most important aspect. Hopefully in the next round I am able to raise my level, but Im still very happy.
The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria seems to have a really wide margin on this surface, and his potential path seems to rule out any surprises.

The Italian champion will not be able to underestimate any opponent, but it would be a shocking surprise if he did not reach at least the semifinals.
