MELBOURNE, Australia – Instead of having one men’s semifinal on Thursday and the other on Friday – a rather major disparity in recovery time, given the stage of the tournament – both are on Friday this year.

First up will have the edge in rest, with an earlier start. And Rafael Nadal got surprisingly little resistence from Matteo Berrettini.

And the two Canadian girls, unseeded, were looking for an Australian Open girls’ doubles title, but couldn’t quite get over the line.
