Medvedev finally gets going (seeded 3) wraps up fifth set in 21 minutes 6-0.

Been a day of upsets. Struggling to look past Djokovic, but if he's put through the wringer enough before the latter stages he could be vulnerable. Doesn't need a slurry of 5 setters.

Swiatek for the Womens?

I hope Medvedev wins it. Djokovic does my head in, silly haired biff

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Djok is the but I think this is the year where he starts to dip, hope I’m wrong as it would be great to see him get more slams but history has proven that it’s hard to keep performing like that at his age.

Is Emma out yet?

Is Emma out yet?

very.

 

[DavidH]

Raducanu has got the best legs in the game I think. Maybe that Spanish bird comes second. Alright Joey Barton calm down.

Is Emma out yet?

Lost in 3 sets. She was starting to get into some rhythm after a poor first set but then started to feel sick in the final set. Wasn’t particularly easy watching as she was clearly struggling but weirdly was playing some of her best tennis of the match through it.

She’s played 4 competitive matches in a year so we shouldn’t be expecting her to be challenging yet anyway. Big thing for her is to hopefully stay largely healthy for an entire season and see what level she can get to.

Swiatek just knocked out by a 19 year old playing her first Australian Open.

Alcaraz and Medvedev through, as is Cameron Norrie who beat Ruud.

Need to watch me some of this

Swiatek for the Womens?

The kiss of death strikes again.

 

[Billy Dean]

Just caught the end of Alcaraz-Zverev. Pretty good

 

[Billy Dean]

Alcaraz 2 sets and 3-5 down in the 3rd, ends up coming back and getting the 3rd on tie break. Game on

 

[Wizard]

Alcaraz was superb in the tie-break. Starting to look more like his usual self after a pretty horrendous start.

 

[Billy Dean]

Gutted, Zverev holds on

 

[Rita_Poon]

Sinner demolished Djokovic 6-1 6-2 6-7 6-3 overnight. Can't remember a semi final slap down for Novak in recent times.
