Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have split the past eight Grand Slam titles between them
Going into the Australian Open, few people predicted anything other than Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner meeting again in the men's final.
The pair have contested the past three Grand Slam title matches - Alcaraz winning the French Open and US Open, with Sinner claiming Wimbledon in between - as their rivalry continues to grow.
Now only Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic can prevent the dominant duo meeting in the Melbourne showpiece for the first time.
Spanish world number one Alcaraz plays German third seed Zverev in Friday's first semi-final at 14:30 local time (03:30 GMT), followed by Italian second seed Sinner facing Serb fourth seed Djokovic.
