On Thursday, the women’s singles finalists were locked in. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka ousted 4th seed Coco Gauff 7-6 (2), 6-4 in a high-quality encounter. The Belarusian’s return to the second Saturday at Melbourne Park is no surprise, but her opponent is. 21-year-old Chinese player Qinwen Zheng was seeded 12 for the tournament, but a series of upsets cleared her path to the final, and she is yet to meet another seeded player. Their much-anticipated clash will take place on Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night.
Hello from men’s semi-final day at Melbourne Park. This afternoon world No 1 Novak Djokovic takes on 4th seed Jannik Sinner, before Daniil Medvedev (3) and Alexander Zverev (6) meet in the evening session. Djokovic and Sinner are due to take to Rod Laver Arena no earlier than 2.30pm local time. The later match is due to start at 7.30pm at the earliest.
