The first semifinal of the Australian Open is showing us surprising results. Novak Djokovic is facing Jannik Sinner, and the score is 2-1 in Sinner’s favor.

The Djoker lost the first two sets 1-6 and 2-6 against Sinner, giving hope to those who oppose Djokovic. However, counting him out in any situation is a big mistake. Despite having a match point in the third set, Djokovic managed to close out the third set in his favor, extending the match to a fourth set. During the break between the third and the fourth set, Sinner expressed frustration. 

He had two bottles on his bench; he picked up one, knocked the other with it, and then threw the initial one on his bag. It was likely the most docile display of anger anyone has seen in tennis in its history. The Tennis Letter shared a video of the moment with the caption, “Jannik Sinner taking his frustration out on his water bottle after losing the 3rd set to Djokovic 😂“.
