MELBOURNE, Australia – The singles competition is down to the pointy end.

And on Thursday, while the men prep for their singles semifinals on Friday, the women take centre stage for their own semis.

Other than No. 5 seed Aryna Sabalenka, whom many backed to be there, the rest of the final four might even be a surprise to their own friends and loved onces.

So it could be an on-fire kind of day.

Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of Eastern time.
