–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Barty vs Giorgi was the obvious choice for the women’s night-session match on Rod Laver Arena.

But Naomi Osaka vs Amanda Anisimova proved to be the better spectacle, concurrently on Margaret Court Arena. It was a battle – and the unseeded Anisimova came out on top in the deciding match tiebreak.
