Defending champion Madison Keys is out of the Australian Open, with the quarter-finals of the tournament almost set. Keys, the ninth seed, was beaten in straight-sets by Jessica Pegula but was “proud” of how she had handled the pressure of her title defence.
Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka are the top seeds for the tournament, with Jannik Sinner and Swiatek the second seeds for the first grand slam of the year.
Alcaraz and Sinner could become the first men to play in four consecutive grand slam finals since Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal did so between 2011 and 2012. Alcaraz is bidding for his first Australian Open title – which would make the youngest man of all time to complete the career grand slam – while Sinner is on for a hat-trick of titles in Melbourne.
Sabalenka, the US Open champion, and Swiatek, the Wimbledon champion, have yet to meet in a grand slam final. Swiatek is also an Australian Open title away from completing the career grand slam while Sabalenka will be out to regain her crown after a shock defeat to Keys in last year’s final.
Elsewhere, Coco Gauff is the women’s third seed, with Amanda Anisimova fourth. Djokovic, the record 10-time champion in Melbourne, is seeded fourth on the men’s side and would expect to face Sinner in the semi-finals if he gets there.
