World number one Jannik Sinner does not feel unbeatable ahead of the Australian Open final, in spite of his superb form.

Sinner dispatched Ben Shelton 7-6 (7-2) 6-2 6-2 on Friday to reach the showpiece match, in which he will face Alexander Zverev.

The Italian has won his last 20 matches, setting his longest career winning streak, while he is the youngest man to reach back-to-back Australian Open finals since Pete Sampras (1994-1995).

However, Sinner does not feel unstoppable despite reaching his third grand slam final in the space of 12 months.

"No, I don't [feel unbeatable]," the 23-year-old said.

"I know that I put a lot of work in. I know I just try to stay calm, never taking things as granted. Just well-prepared, to be honest.

"I had a tough off-season. We tried to put a lot of work in there. Every day it's a routine to get better. That's it."

88 - Jannik Sinner has now won a set in all his last 88 matches - the last time he lost in straight sets was in final at the ATP Finals 2023 against Novak Djokovic. ?!?!#AO2025 | @AustralianOpen @atptour @ATPMediaInfo

Sinner is the fourth man to reach three consecutive finals at the hard-court majors, after Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev.

However, Sinner was keen to stress he is not perfect.

"Obviously it's a great position to be in," Sinner said when asked about his dominance as world number one.

"But I also know that I'm 23 years old, and I am not perfect. I know that I have things still to improve. I have certain areas where I can get better.

"That's why we work for, no? As I said before, every day is a big challenge. Every day you have a different opponent.

"You try to understand what's happening.

"Sometimes you have some issues and then it's about trying to understand whatever works best for that day and trying to go for it, no? Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody's perfect."
