Novak Djokovic was at the centre of another Australian Open row on Monday while defending champion Jannik Sinner needed medical attention in fierce heat to battle into the quarter-finals.
The former world No. 3 breezed into the last eight in Melbourne for the first time since 2019, and will now focus on supporting Monfils in an upcoming clash against American Ben Shelton.
American Madison Keys first made the Australian Open semifinals 10 years ago. A decade on, she hopes to do it again, but she'll have to go through Ukraine's Elina Svitolina.
Elina Svitolina has rallied from two breaks down in the first set and taken 11 of the next 12 games in a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Veronika Kudermetova to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals for the third time.
Svitolina beat Veronika Kudermetova at the Australian Open to improve to 7-0 against Russian players since the start of the war.
Besides the matches, there have been some interesting bits at the 2025 Australian Open. This includes Danielle Collins breaking bad.
The Belarusian will next face Spain’s world number 12 Paula Badosa that outplayed World No.3 Coco Gauff of the United States, 7-5, 6-4.
Djokovic has been at the centre of controversy before at the Australian Open, notably in 2022 when he was deported on the eve of the tournament over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid. He claimed ahead of this year’s tournament that he was “poisoned” by lead and mercury in his food while held in a hotel before being deported.
First came the medical timeouts, one each for Jannik Sinner and Holger Rune with the temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) at the Australian Open.
