The final match of the day saw American Learner Tien, playing in his first major outside of the U.S. Open, upset No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev in a five-set classic, 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 1-6, 7-6, that ended at 2:54 a.m. local time. Medvedev had reached three of the past four Australian Open finals, but could not fend off a ferocious Tien.

Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina joined Swiatek in the last 16 with a 6-3 6-4 win over Dayana Yastremska, but only after receiving treatment on her back, while eighth seed Emma Navarro and ninth seed Daria Kasatkina also advanced.

Eight women remain in the 2025 Australian Open, and three of them are Americans. That group of quarterfinalists is headlined by No. 3 seed Coco Gauff and includes No. 8 Emma Navarro and No. 19 Madison Keys. Sofia Kenin in 2020 was the last American woman to hoist the trophy in Melbourne.

Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner continue to impress, while a band of young talent announces themselves Down Under.

More remarkably: Djokovic has now advanced to his fiftieth major semifinal, after beating Alcaraz in a grueling four-set match that went to about 1:00 am local time in Melbourne. That number sets yet another Djokovic record in men’s tennis, further cementing the athlete’s legendary status.

Two spectacular young superstars dominated men’s tennis in 2024. Novak Djokovic salvaged a tough year with a prestigious title, while Rafael Nadal retired after an unforgettable career.
