Jannik Sinner and Elina Svitolina won their respective Round 3 matches and advanced to the pre-quarters. While Sinner beat Marcos Giron in straight sets, Svitolina got the better of Jasmine Paolini.

World No.1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek, Elina Svitolina, Elena Rybakina and other big players will be in action on Day 9 of the hard court major at the Melbourne Park.

Earlier in the day, Iga Swiatek cruised past Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in their Women’s Singles quarter-final while Madison Keys secured a surprising 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elina Svitolina to set up a meeting with Swiatek tomorrow.

As much as any top player, Sinner has been able to expose De Minaur’s lack of first-strike weaponry. The Aussie’s strength is his scrambling and counterpunching, but Sinner serves too well, hits too hard, places the ball too precisely for his defense to be effective. De Minaur hasn’t found a way to hurt, rattle, of disrupt him.

Elina Svitolina advances to Australian Open quarterfinals, to face Madison Keys after defeating Veronika Kudermetova.

The World No. 1, despite feeling unwell in sweltering conditions, kept up his title defense with a four-set triumph.

Sinner's remarkable on-court ability to block out any distraction from his mission has been on full display as he seeks to defend his Melbourne title.

The 113th Australian Open is underway, kicking off the first Grand Slam of 2025. We'll show you where to watch the Australian Open globally.
