Updates from the evening session at Melbourne Park Alcaraz beats Paul | Follow us on Bluesky | Mail KatyFirst set: De Minaur* 1-1 Bublik (*next server)De Minaur is playing in the fourth round for the fifth consecutive year - a feat that not even Hewitt, Mark Philippoussis and Pat Rafter achieved at their home slam – but he’s never been past the quarter-finals. Which largely sums up his career: he’s so consistent in beating the players he’s expected to, but is underpowered against the very best. De Minaur does send a bullet of a backhand winner down the line to get to deuce on Bublik’s serve, though. But two errors then give the Kazakhstani the game. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Australian Open 2026: Ruse v Andreeva; De Minaur and Svitolina through, Norrie out – live

Updates from the evening session at Melbourne Park Mboko sets up Sabalenka clash after win | Mail KatyNorrie and Zverev are going through the pre-match formalities. The umpire tells the players to smile big for the cameras. Not sure how easy that is for Norrie, given the British No 2, the last Brit standing in the singles, has lost to Zverev in all six of their previous meetings. The last time they played at the Australian Open was in 2024, when Norrie was denied 7-6 in the fifth set. But Norrie will at least take something from the fact he was able to push Zverev all the way then, and the fact that this is a night match, with slightly slower conditions, may help Norrie, because the rallies will be longer and more attritional and that’s what he loves.Up next: we’ve got De Minaur v Tiafoe on Rod Laver and Norrie v Zverev on John Cain and Svitolina v Shnaider on Margaret Court.

5 d. ago Australian Open 2026: De Minaur, Zverev, Tiafoe and Andreeva win, Raducanu out – live

Live updates from all of the action at Melbourne Park Raducanu out but ‘head held high’ | Mail DanielNorrie is doing his thing again, upping it when he needs to for another mini-break and 6-2. I wonder if it’s a cognitive thing, because it’s not like he wasn’t trying his best when struggling earlier in the set, so it’s not an effort thing, but I guess focusing for hours at a time is hard if not impossible and there’s a kind of locked-in version that intensifies as the match does and, as I type, he serves out to lead Nava 6-1 7-6(3) having saved two set points not that long ago.Obviously Zverev finds an ace to restore deuce – he may be resigned to his fate of never winning a slam, but his serve remains one of the best shots in the game, and from there, he ends a long hold. And back with the breaker, Norrie has a mini-break and a 3-2 lead. Continue reading...
