Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton are set to lock horns at the quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2026. Sinner has entered the major as a hot favourite contender, having won it two times back-to-back.

Sinner is coming off a 6-1, 6-,3 7-6 (7-2) straight-sets victory over fellow Italian Luciano Darderi to reach his ninth consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final. On the other hand, Shelton made a remarkable comeback against Casper Ruud as a series of winners helped him win the fourth-round clash 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 against the American.
