World No. 1 Jannik Sinner fought through blistering heat and an undisclosed ailment to defeat Holger Rune 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 and advance to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Sinner, the defending champion, met with the tournament doctor before beginning the match and needed a medical timeout in the third set.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“I think we saw that today I was struggling physically,” the Italian said after the match. “Came here as late as possible. I knew that it was going to be very, very difficult today. You know, playing against a tough opponent, but also playing against myself a little bit.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The match, played in 90 degrees and humid conditions in Melbourne, Australia, also featured a 21-minute delay that gave players an indoor break as officials repaired a broken ring that keeps the net in place.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Rune, the No. 13 seed, also required his own medical timeout to give a trainer a chance to massage his right knee. The Dane’s break gave Sinner an additional chance to rest in the match, which lasted just over three hours.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Sinner tallied 14 aces among his 35 winners, which accompanied 35 unforced errors, and won 83 percent of his first-serve points. Rune wound up with 54 unforced errors against 31 winners.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In the quarterfinals, Sinner will face No. 8 Alex de Minaur of Australia, who ousted American Alex Michelsen 6-0, 7-6 (5), 6-3. It will be the first quarterfinals appearance for de Minaur in his home country’s Grand Slam, and he became just the third Aussie man to reach the round in 20 years.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“It means the world,” de Minaur said. “There is nothing I want to do more than play well here in Australia in front of you guys. I am glad I finally made it to the quarterfinals. Let’s go for bigger and better things.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Ben Shelton will be making his second appearance in the Australian Open quarterfinals after 38-year-old Gael Monfils of France was forced to retire due to a back injury, with Shelton up 7-6 (3), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 1-0 after two hours, 56 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The magical run for another American, 19-year-old qualifier Learner Tien, ended with a 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 loss to Italian Lorenzo Sonego, who will meet Shelton in the quarterfinals. Tien, who struggled physically in the match, defeated World No. 5 Daniil Medvedev of Russia in a five-set thriller in the second round.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
