MELBOURNE, Australia – Who’s the quiet one? No. 2 Hobart seed Emma Navarro, who is into the final and also is seeded at the Australian Open.

In Adelaide, underdogs Jelena Ostapenko and Daria Kasatkina are also into the final – Ostapenko with some effort, Kasatkina on a walkover.

It’s a mish-mash with the AO just a few days away.

(Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of EST; Hobart is 16 hours)
