There’s so much happening at the Australian Open. It can be tough to keep up!
That’s why we’re rounding up the best, wildest and most talked-about moments every day of the AO, all in one place, bite-sized and easy to catch up on - so you never miss a moment.
Best shot – Carlos Alcaraz
It’s hard to condense the full Carlos Alcaraz experience into one point, but this piece of magic against Corentin Moutet gets pretty close.
Best celebration – Yulia Putintseva
Qualifier Zeynep Sonmez’s run had everyone at Melbourne Park talking during the first two rounds of AO26 - and Yulia Putintseva heard every bit of it. The Kazakhstani ended Sonmez’s surge in front of a passionate Turkish crowd and made sure they knew it.
Best story – Learner Tien
Learner Tien defeated Nuno Borges in his third-round match, successfully defending the run to the round of 16 he made in his main-draw debut last season.
At 20, the win also makes him the second-youngest American to reach back-to-back men’s singles fourth rounds at a single Grand Slam, after Andy Roddick at the US Open (2001-03).
He now faces Daniil Medvedev, with the No.11 seed seeking revenge after a five-set loss to Tien last year.
“We both don't make it easy on our opponents," he said. "So, naturally, we're not making it easy on each other.”
Best win – Daniil Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev became the first player at AO26 to come back from two sets down, earning a hard-fought victory over Hungarian world No.47 Fabian Marozsan.
Best stat – Aryna Sabalenka
Aryna Sabalenka’s third-round win over Anastasia Potapova was a nail-biter, the No.1 seed requiring two tiebreaks to advance 7-6(9) 7-6(9).
Sabalenka has now won 19 consecutive Grand Slam tiebreaks, dating back to Roland Garros 2023, tying Novak Djokovic’s streak from 2005 to 2007.
