Djokovic got lucky again.
After a w/o in his previous match he's now into the Semi-Final despite looking down and out!
Musetti romped through the first 2 sets taking them 6'4, 6'3.
Djoko had the trainer on at the end of set 2 and it was clear he was in discomfort from a massive blister.
In the Semi's Djoko will face the winner of Sinner v Shelton, due to start soon.
But Musetti then had a problem which the trainer couldn't resolve and the Italian retired at 1-3 in the 3rd set.

Good to see Johnson and Zielinski and Harrison and Skupski make the men's semi finals. Hopefully, we might get at least one Brit in the final.
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
Well done to Harrison and Skupski on making the final. I heard Ryan Harrison say, on radio five live recently, he reckoned our male doubles players are the best in the world and Christian was so delighted to team up with Neal Skupski. Shame Johnson and Zielinksi didn't make the final, but they must be proud of getting to the semis.

Sabalenka vs Rybakina in the women's AO final
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
Alcaraz d Zverev in a very long 5-setter - dramatic match! Now the record for the longest SF at the AO.
Zverev served for it in the 5th set at 5*-3 but too tentative and the Spaniard finally got the upper hand.
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
Yes great for Skupski/Harrison and hoping Rybakina can turn the tables on Sabalenka this time.
only seen the 5th set of Alcaraz/zverev (but will catch up later), whilst happy Carlos came through a biter blow for Sascha.
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
Yes, Alcaraz vs Zverev this morning was a cracker. I only saw the last set as I woke up late. But entertaining.
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
Wowzer! Djokovic is into his 11th AO Final after beating Sinner in another 5-set Semi-Final today.
Re: AUSTRALIAN OPEN - 18th Jan - 1st Feb 2026
as much as I dislike Novak's personality on court ( violin playing, shirt ripping, getting annoyed at the slightest thing, trying to hit the nearest line judge or ball kid, although he's no worse i suppose than the rest of them), that is an amazing victory, and i wish him every success in the final. If he wins, hopefully he'll retire
